Text

I thank the First Minister for her answer. As she said, the research focuses on young boys, particularly those aged between 16 and 24. However, as we have seen in recent court cases, it is not just young boys who are violent in making sexual advances towards young women. Will she commit to carry out work that looks at the attitudes among the older male age group?
