"The Civil Partnership bill received an unopposed second reading today, with broad support from the majority of the House of Lords.
The bill, which will give same-sex couples access to similar rights and responsibilities as marriage, was due to be discussed in the House of Lords this morning. Its success there means the ball will now start rolling towards full legislation, with some suggesting it could receive royal assent as early as January next year, providing there are no delays."
