I propose to take Questions Nos. 394 and 395 together.
The Gender Recognition Advisory Group (GRAG) was established in 2010 to advise the Government on the legislation required to give legal recognition to the acquired gender of transgender persons. The Report of the Group, which recommends a scheme for the legal recognition of transgender persons, was approved by the Government on 12 July 2011, and was subsequently published on 14 July 2011. Since then, my Department has been working on developing draft Heads of a Bill. The Department has sought advice from the Office of the Attorney General on the issue of transgender persons who are already married or who have civil partnership status. The advice that is received from the Office of the Attorney General will inform the drafting of the Heads of the Bill.
