Deputy Howlin raised a consent issue in quite a detailed way in his proposed legislation. There had been some suggestion that consent could be defined a little bit more specifically, such as what is contained in the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Act 2017. This amendment deals with it quite briefly, if we want to put it that way. Does the Minister believe it is adequately covered without that other person's consent?
