Original Note:
To clarify for those in the comments: Spiking is already a criminal offence - covered under the Sexual Offences Act 2003 and Offences Against the Person Act 1861. The change in the law is to make it a specific criminal offence (i.e. it uses the term 'spiking'). https://fullfact.org/live/2024/nov/spiking-laws/ https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cdp-2023-0231/
