Whether the Cabinet Secretary for Justice and the Minister for Victims and Community Safety have met with any sex worker-led organisations …

Neither myself nor the Cabinet Secretary for Justice have met with any sex worker-led organisations since the beginning of the current parliamentary session.The Scottish Government has established the independent Criminalisation of the Purchase of Sex in Scotland. The Commission operates independently of Ministers and is responsible for determining its own programme of stakeholder engagement. In carrying out its remit, which includes ensuring its work is informed by survivors and those with experience of prostitution, the Commission may choose to engage with sex worker-led organisations where it considers that appropriate.
