Mr Humfrey Malins (Woking, Conservative)
Under my amendment, if the educational establishment had drawn the young gap-year student's attention to the section of the Act—or
not, as the case may be—he would not have a defence. Is there not a little bit of merit in my general thrust? I appreciate the point about the 40-year-old starting a relationship, but it is a bit different when the boy concerned might be 19 and a bit and the girl is 17 and three quarters.
