Homosexuality

Mrs. Currie
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to his answer of Thursday 18 June, Official Report, column 651, if he will show for the last five years ranked by police authority, the total number of prosecutions for all offences involving consenting male homosexual activity where at least one partner was aged over 16 years and under 21 years.

Mr. Jack
Information for 1986 to 1990 by police force area is given in the tables. The offence of indecency between males by a man of the age of 21 or over with another male person under the age of 21 does not necessarily involve fully consensual behaviour.--------------------
