Clause 50 - Causing or inciting child prostitution or pornography
Sexual Offences Bill [Lords]
10:30 am
Mr Dominic Grieve (Beaconsfield, Conservative)
My hon. Friend makes a very good point. That is precisely why I think that we are in danger of causing a muddle. The Minister may be able to provide some cogent explanations as to why it has been felt that the under-13s need to be catered for under these clauses. Clause 50 is a classic example of duplication: there is already a substantial measure of protection provided by the general prohibitions on sexual activity.
