Call to outlaw sodomy is 17 years too late

IN his rather bizarre interpretation of the Civil Partnership Bill, Fr Tom Ingoldsby SDB claims it will legalise what he calls “sodomy” (Letters, June 23).

If Fr Ingoldsby had bothered to read the bill, he would know it does no such thing.

“Sodomy” (or “buggery”, the equally ridiculous term used by the criminal law) was actually legalised in 1993.
