Vol. 294 No. 7

Non-Fatal Offences against the Person (Amendment) (Spiking) Bill 2023: First Stage

I move:

That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to provide for the specific offence of spiking characterised by the administration, injection, or causation of the taking orally of a substance, knowing that the person to whom the substance is administered, injected, or caused to be taken does not consent, or being reckless as to whether the person consents, and where the perpetrator intends to overpower or sedate the person, to engage in a sexual act, cause harm, make a gain or cause a loss, or otherwise commit an offence.

Question put and agreed to.

When is it proposed to take Second Stage?

It is scheduled for next Wednesday.

Is that agreed? Agreed.

Second Stage ordered for Wednesday, 31 May 2023.
