Prostitution

Lynne Jones
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department pursuant to the answer of 11 March 2009, Official Report, columns 468-9W, on prostitution, what changes were made to the Policing and Crime Bill as a result of the responses received.

Mr. Alan Campbell
The responses to the Home Office's letter of 26 September were received before the introduction of the Policing and Crime Bill. The responses expressed a range of views, which were taken into consideration in conjunctions with the findings of the Government's ‘Tackling the Demand for Prostitution: A Review’ and contributed as part of this process to the development of measures of clauses 13,14, 18,19 and 20 of the Policing and Crime Bill.
