A Labour shadow minister has resigned after making what she deemed ‘misjudged’ comments relating to gay marriage.
Janet Daby suggested registrars who have religious objections to same-sex marriage should be protected from losing their jobs if they refuse to certify the partnership.
The Daily Telegraph reported her as saying: ‘There needs to be something in place that protects people of faith as well as those who think the other way. It is an issue of conscience. It is like people having a choice who, for reasons of conscience, cannot participate in conducting an abortion.’
