The Scottish Government is consulting on its draft bill to redefine marriage. The consultation paper is available here.

The consultation deadline is 5pm on Wednesday 20 March 2013.

There are several ways to respond:
1) Online
2) Email
3) Post

1) Online

We have produced an easy-to-use online form that includes only the key questions, and suggests answers you may like to use. There is an opportunity to amend your answers if you prefer. The form can be found here:

The form allows you to submit a response to the five most important questions the Scottish Government asks in its consultation. There are 18 questions altogether. If you would rather respond to more of the questions, you can go to the Government’s own online response form:
