Proceeding contribution from Lord Tebbit (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 30 June 2008. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Sexual Offences (Northern Ireland) Order 2008.


Sexual Offences (Northern Ireland) Order 2008

My Lords, I wonder whether the Minister can help me. As I read it, Part 5, like the rest of the order, is in gender-neutral terms. Yet at page 22 of the Explanatory Memorandum, it is stated: "““The reference to ‘sexual services’ would cover someone who controls the activities of a number of women in prostitution””." Am I reading the order wrongly, or is the Explanatory Memorandum slightly misleading?
