Answered by Hugh Henry on 10 Feb 2005 · 14 days after it was lodged, on time

Stage 1 of the Expert Group on Prostitution examined the issues surrounding street prostitution, including tolerance zones, and their report is currently out for consultation. We will consider the expert group’s proposals, and the consultation responses, carefully. Stage 2 has yet to start and will consider people trafficking and indoor prostitution.
