    "content": "This Bill has also been promoted very well. It has been promoted by hon. Members in conjunction with very able lobbyists and pressure groups. They were properly focused and passionate. In fact, when I looked at the photos on the front page of the newspapers today, I saw one of the very indefatigable campaigner of this Bill, who is my constituent. She was passionate and intensive! Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let us not, for a moment, think that the people who put this Bill together and campaigned for it were doing a \"hazy hazy job\". I watched somebody on a television station the other day saying: \"We are not doing a kissy kissy job!\" I looked for that word in the dictionary, but could not find it. I think they meant they were serious on the job they were doing. The Bill was also packaged very well. It was packaged as a panacea to all sexual offences. That, if this Bill passes, then sexual offences will be history. That is because we will deal with them firmly and seriously. But this Bill committed two very serious wrongs which, in fact, make it suspicious! That is why some of us are saying they are opposing it, unless there are amendments. I am not saying that! I am saying, \"I am opposing this Bill!\" The intention behind some of what we see in this Bill - and I can mention it, is to show you that it was not a Sexual Offences Bill. That is the name it has been given. It is a Bill against sexual offences. But sexual offences are not even defined in this Bill. They did not start by telling us: \"This Bill is about sexual offences! Sexual offences mean the following---\" That way, all of us who read the Bill, will find out whether it conforms with the definition. This Bill became a kind of bandwagon for bringing all sorts of frustrations, which the campaigners and designers of the Bill wanted to put in!"
