Proceeding contribution from Laura Farris (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 15 May 2024. It occurred during Debate on bill on Criminal Justice Bill.
Criminal Justice Bill
Yes, I can confirm that those inchoate offences—attempt offences—are all captured in the 1981 Act to which I referred in my opening speech.
On whether naming the offence of spiking will improve police record keeping, I say to my hon. Friend that it will absolutely do that. It will remove the discrepancy between what might have been called date rape under the Sexual Offences Act and what would have been recorded previously as a poisoning act under the Offences against the Person Act. For consistency in recording, we are very pleased to make the change.
