What it asks

, before considering a Sewel motion in respect of the Civil Partnership Bill, seeks that the Bill be amended to provide for the possibility of solemnisation of a Civil Partnership in Scotland by a minister of religion in a way similar to that allowed for religious marriages under the Marriage (Scotland) Act 1977, or failing which, the deletion of Clause 89(2) of the Bill so that Registrars will be free to conduct Civil Partnership ceremonies in otherwise appropriate venues which have a religious connection.
