Patricia Hewitt was forced to apologise after it was revealed that she had called for the age of sexual consent to be lowered to ten. [...]

A National Council for Civil Liberties (NCCL) press release quoted in The Sun issued in Miss Hewitt's sole name in Mach 1976 read: "NCCL proposes that the age of consent should be lowered to 14, with special provision for situations where the partners are close in age or where the consent of a child over ten can be proved."
