Peers plot gay marriage revolt
Lords from all main political parties will unite next week in a last-ditch attempt to block the
Government's introduction of gay marriage.
The House of Lords will debate the same sex marriage bill next week.
Peers expect the Upper's House debate over same sex weddings will go through the night or
even into a second day, with a key vote that could scupper the policy regarded as "too close to call".
The former head of the British army Lord Dannatt and Lord Lothian, a former Conservative Party chairman
better known as Michael Ancram, are amongst those set to criticise the draft legislation in next Monday's
session.
Other opponents will include Lord Waddington, a former Home Secretary, Lord Luce, who served as a
minister in Baroness Thatcher's government, and Lord Singh of Wimbledon, a respected figure in the Sikh
community.
The Sunday Telegraph has also established that the senior Tory Baroness Warsi, a practising Muslim,
refused to lead the bill through the House of Lords when asked to do so by David Cameron, the Prime Minister.
Some peers believe dozens Lords who rarely attend Parliament will flock to Westminster to make their position on
homosexual marriage clear.
