Family impact still centre stage

Both the no and yes sides in the marriage referendum campaign continue to disagree on whether surrogacy and children are relevant or not to the this week’s landmark vote.

No campaigners yesterday said the Government needed to “pause and go back to the drawing board” and give same-sex couples equal rights, but through legislation — not Constitutional change.

However, yes campaigners called the no campaign arguments “bogus” while politicians also pushed voters for Constitutional change.
