Proceeding contribution from Lord Lloyd of Berwick (Crossbench) 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, the Minister made a great deal of the need for uniformity across the various parts of the United Kingdom. It was one of his main points. Putting aside for the moment the question of the age of consent, am I not right in thinking that the criminal law of Scotland differs greatly from the criminal law of England in many respects? If that is right, does that not largely undermine his argument that there should be uniformity in this case?
