HC Deb 29 January 1976 vol 904 c271W
Mr. Clegg

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what public demand for a change in the age of consent for sexual relations he has received; and what form this has taken.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

I have received a number of representations from interested organisations and individuals that the age of consent for homosexual acts should be reduced, and some concerning the age of consent to sexual intercourse, mainly opposing any change.
