WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHIEF MINISTER BY DEPUTY L.M.C. DOUBLET OF ST. SAVIOUR

QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 15TH NOVEMBER 2021 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 22ND NOVEMBER 2021

Question  

Will the Chief Minister state what progress, if any, has been made in pre-registering sites on publicly- owned land that members of the public can access at low cost for the purposes of outdoor wedding ceremonies; and will he also provide the following information in table form –

  1. a list of all sites currently registered;
  2. a list of sites planned to be registered;
  3. the expected cost of using each site; and
  4. the anticipated date by which each of the sites will be made available as a pre-registered option?

Answer

The question relates to a piece of work intended to be undertaken by the Office of the Superintendent Registrar to pre-approve sites for outdoor ceremonies.

Plans in relation to pre-registering sites for outdoor wedding ceremonies on publicly-owned land were interrupted by the pandemic response and have not yet been restarted due to continued pandemic workload and resourcing requirements.

One off licences are currently available in consultation with the Superintendent Registrar for couples desiring an outdoor wedding ceremony with a nominal licencing fee of £125.
