Proceeding contribution from Fiona Mactaggart (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 9 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill.
Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill
I was present during our debate and the Minister will be aware that this is the first time in five years that the House has been in a position to reform the prostitution laws, which the Bill is designed to do. In an era when hundreds of thousands of women are trafficked into sexual slavery, face daily rape and even murder, it has to be said that the Bill does not deal sufficiently with those problems. Will the Minister take an early opportunity to legislate to tackle the demand for prostitution? Sweden has shown that it works and we should follow its lead.
