Part of Children, Schools and Families Bill – in a Public Bill Committee at 8:45 pm on 2 February 2010.
The Minister is confusing facts and opinions. The proposed new subsection 6(a) principle is about being appropriate to the age. A fact is a fact, whatever the age of the person. A fact to do with sex and sexual encounters is a fact, whether one is six, 16 or 96. This is rubbish.
