Clause 6 - Rape of a child under 13
Sexual Offences Bill [Lords]
9:10 am
Mr Hilton Dawson (Lancaster and Wyre, Labour)
The hon. Gentleman speaks very well and with good purpose. There is much sense in what he says. However, is he happy with the introduction of the word ''assault''? Might not that leave room for the appalling kinds of
sex offenders—people who groom or entice a child into sexual abuse—about which some Committee members heard yesterday evening in our discussion with Scotland Yard?
