I move amendment No. 8:

In page 18, to delete lines 26 to 30 and substitute the following:“ “relevant person” means—
(a) a person whose capacity to consent to a sexual act is called into question, or

(b) a person who lacks capacity to consent to a sexual act,
and it states that a relevant person’s lack of capacity to consent for the purposes of this Act may arise because of—
(i) a disability,

(ii) ill health, or

(iii) any other reason.”.
