HC Deb 21 November 1983 vol 49 c9W
Mr. Parry

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to his reply to the hon. Member for Liverpool, Riverside, on Monday 14 November, Official Report, c. 278, when he expects the review by the Criminal Law Revision Committee and the policy advisory committee on sexual offences to be completed.

Mr. Dubs

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he expects to receive the outcome of the review by the Criminal Law Revision Committee and the policy advisory committee on sexual offences.

Mr. Mellor

The Criminal Law Revision Committee is carrying out its review of the law on sexual offences in two stages. I understand that the committee expects to produce its final report on the first stage—the law on sexual offences other than those relating to prostitution —early next year. It is not yet possible to say precisely when the final report on the other stage — the law relating to prostitution—will be available.
