Home Office: Written Questions

Original answer

As part of the Government’s response to the 2016 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 was led by the University of Bristol and will enable us to inform an objective evidence base before we can consider any changes to policy and legislation in respect of prostitution.

The report was published on 30 October and is available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/nature-of-prostitution-and-sex-work-in-england-and-wales.

The answer was corrected by Victoria Atkins (Conservative)

on Monday, 4 November 2019 on behalf of the Home Office.
