Prostitution

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the timeframe is for his receiving a report from the University of Bristol on prostitution in the UK.

Answer

As part of the Government’s response to the Home Affairs Select Committee report into prostitution, the Home Office provided £150,000 to fund research specifically into the nature and prevalence of prostitution in England and Wales. This independent research is being led by the University of Bristol and will enable us to inform an objective evidence base before we consider any changes to policy and legislation in respect of prostitution.

We have now received the report, and this will be published in due course.
