Spiking Bill would make it illegal to give or attempt to give someone drugs, alcohol or any other substance without their consent. It creates offences whether or not the person intends to harm them, covering both actual administration and attempts, with any related measures to support the new law.
The bill is currently at its first reading in the House of Commons, meaning it has been introduced but not yet debated. If it progresses, it would move to a second reading and further scrutiny.
