Labour leader Ed Miliband has called for progress on gay marriage by the end of this year.

Speaking on Saturday on the tenth anniversary of the equal age of consent, he said that there was more to do on marriage equality.

Mr Miliband said: “The introduction of civil partnerships was one of the most significant changes introduced by Labour. Those equalities now have overwhelming public support and are being copied by many countries around the world.

“Five years on from the first civil partnership it is right that we look at extending marriage equality for those people who want it. I hope that we can make progress on this during the year ahead.”
