I may bring forward an amendment on Report Stage to section 27 that it apply to any male person, not just people over the age of 17 years. Also, the penalty being imposed is imprisonment for life, which is archaic. I will bring forward an amendment on Report Stage which perhaps the Minister might also consider.
