question text

Her Majesty's Government whether they intend to ensure that the ruling by the Supreme Court on O'Brien (Appellant) v Ministry of Justice (Respondent) that same-sex couples should have equal pensions rights and entitlements as those in opposite-sex marriages will remain law post-Brexit, given that the ruling was based on EU law.

answer text

The Government has no plans to amend pension rights for same sex couples as a result of the UK leaving the European Union. The Government is committed to same sex marriage and is proud that legislation was introduced to ensure that pensions are built up equally for all legal partnerships. Regarding the recent Supreme Court ruling in the case of Walker v Innospec Ltd, the Government of course respects the decision of the Supreme Court. The Government are reviewing the implication of the judgement in detail and will respond appropriately in due course. The Supreme Court has passed the case of O’Brien v Ministry of Justice to the Court of Justice of the European Union.
