[Andy Hayward @DrAndyHayward]

The Women and Equalities Committee have released the Government's Response to their Rights of Cohabiting Partners Inquiry. It's available at https://t.co/XDQmWG8jDf - my personal view is that it's a disappointing read with most key recommendations rejected. A 🧵1/16

[Resolution @ResFamilyLaw]

We are bitterly disappointed that the Government has rejected any meaningful action that would give #cohabiting couples the basic legal protections they urgently require.
