Onchan MHK among four to vote against

The Bill which would enable people of the same sex to get married has cleared another hurdle in its passage through the House of Keys.

The Marriage (Same Sex) Couples Bill has been given a second reading.

Four members voted against.

Amongst them was Onchan member Zac Hall, who, at the end of a lengthy address, suggested a select commitee would be the most appropriate way forward.
