Proceeding contribution from Baroness Stern (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 1 July 2009. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Policing and Crime Bill.


Policing and Crime Bill

I was asking whether the Minister has a response to the point of the noble Lord, Lord Lucas: that the Government’s approach will criminalise the poor users of sex workers and those who work in the most exploited end of the sex industry while leaving the upper end untouched. I think the question of the noble Lord, Lord Lucas, was whether that was the Government’s intention.
