Proceeding contribution from Lord Desai (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 4 July 2005. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Criminal Justice (Northern Ireland) Order 2005.
Criminal Justice (Northern Ireland) Order 2005
I am sorry that I arrived late. My recollection is that the decriminalisation of the offence of cottaging, as it was called, was not extended to Northern Ireland. So I did not quite understand my noble friend’s answer. I should have thought that it continued to be an arrestable offence in Northern Ireland, but I could be wrong. It is rather a murky area; it may be that propositioning was decriminalised, but the actual sexual act was not.
