Sta,—The news that the proposals of the Wolfenden Report on
homosexuality are not to be implemented, will bring joy to many hearts, not least to that of Mr. John Gordon. May we now hope that the Laboucherc amendment will be extended to include not only homosexual acts between women, but all heterosexual intercourse between consenting (though unmarried) adults in private?
Fornication is not only a grave sin, but also a social menace; adultery is worse. Surely, in the circumstances—and despite the enlightened opinions of Mr. Gordon—logic demands that such offences should be penalised? It may be argued that a majority of the public would not support such changes; but this, sir, is surely a case in which the Government should take a bold lead.—Yours faith- fully,
