Clause 11 - Causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity
Sexual Offences Bill [Lords]
3:30 pm
Mr John Randall (Uxbridge, Conservative)
I simply want to echo what my hon. Friend said. After listening to the Minister, I have grave worries. It sounds as though the protection that we would be affording children under 16 in this country would not necessarily apply to those in a legal marriage who have come from outside the country. I speak entirely as a layman, but the message will have to be relayed clearly outside so that people can understand why there is a difference under the legislation.
