2.5.3.2.3. THIRD EDITION

2.5.3.2.3.1. Description of book

This Briefing is the third edition of a document prepared as background material for attempts to persuade the Government to amend the Sexual Offences Bill 2003 in various ways. The main object (which failed) was to secure the removal of provisions of the Bill criminalising children under the age of consent (16) for engaging in consensual sexual activities with age mates. The Briefing also aimed to remove certain drafting defects in the Bill, in which it was partially successful.
