Coronavirus (Scotland) (No.2) Act 2020: marriage and civil partnership - report

Second two-monthly report to the Scottish Parliament on the steps taken to ensure that the solemnisation of marriages and registration of civil partnerships continues to be available and on the number of marriages and civil partnerships that have taken place during the reporting period.


The Reporting Period

4. The provisions of paragraph 24 of schedule 1 provide that reports must relate to "each reporting period". This has the meaning given by section 12(4) of the second Scottish Act. The second reporting period began the day after the end of the first reporting period and ended on 30 September. Therefore, this report covers from 1 August to 30 September 2020 inclusive. 

5. In preparing this report, the Scottish Ministers have obtained information from National Records of Scotland (NRS) on the number of marriages and civil partnerships that have been solemnised and registered during the reporting period.
