Proceeding contribution from Earl of Onslow (Conservative) 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
If a child is involved in prostitution, that child is deeply damaged, deeply hurt and in great danger. To make a child like that into a criminal strikes me as cruel in the extreme. Surely, it is a question of "suffer little children". We should look after them and ensure that they are given care and help, rather than putting them into the criminal system. It is mad to put them into the criminal system.
