jan 7, 1994 - Age of consent for homosexual men lowered to 18

Description:

The Conservative Member of Parliament Edwina Currie introduced an amendment to lower the age of consent for homosexual acts, from 21 to 16 in line with that for heterosexual acts. The vote was defeated and the gay male age of consent was instead lowered to 18. The lesbian age of consent was not set.

In practice, that means men from 18 to 21 could no longer be arrested for homosexual activity.
