Registration of Armed Forces Chapels for Same Sex Marriages — 5 Mar 2014 at 19:16

The majority of MPs voted to require the Secretary of State for Defence have regard to the views of religious organisations which make significant use of an armed forces chapel before deciding if to register the chapel for marriage of same sex couples, or if to cancel such a registration.

The motion approved by the majority of MPs was:

The regulations state registrations cannot be made without a certificate stating the chapel in question is not consecrated according to the rites of the Church of England.
