Gibraltar's Lib Dem MEP speaks out on age of consent

The Lib Dem MEP for Gibraltar (and South West England) Graham Watson has spoken out following the defeat of a motion in the Gibraltar Parliament to equalise the age of consent there. He said, "Gibraltar needs to equalise its age of consent; that is one of its international obligations. The Gibraltar Government should push forward with a Government Bill on this issue. The Bill's passage would then be assured and it would have the support of the Opposition parties in Gibraltar as well.
