I move:

That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to amend the Punishment of Incest Act 1908 so as to increase the penalty for offences committed under section 2.

This Bill provides that penalties for females are brought into line with those existing penalties for males.

Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.
