HL Deb 14 July 2003 vol 651 c75WA
Baroness Walmsley

asked Her Majesty's Government:

How they plan to amend sexual offences and offences against the person legislation to end the criminalisation of consenting adults who engage in sado-masochistic sexual activity when that activity results in no lasting harm or injury. [HL3416]

The Minister of State, Home Office (Baroness Scotland of Asthal)

We have no current plans to amend the sexual offences and offences against the person legislation to take account of this issue.
