A gay man has won a landmark ruling which will give his husband the same pension rights as a wife would receive.
The Supreme Court unanimously ruled that if John Walker dies, his husband is entitled to a spouse's pension, provided they remain married.
Emma Norton, a lawyer from Liberty, which represented Mr Walker, called on the government to promise Brexit would not threaten the ruling.
"This ruling was made under EU law and is a direct consequence of the rights protection the EU gives us," she said.
"We now risk losing that protection. The government must promise that there will be no rollback on LGBT rights after Brexit."
