the Home Office on 16 July 2004 to prompt a public debate on how to

Views are welcomed from everyone with an interest in this area of
public policy, but particularly from those with experience of
involvement in prostitution, those with experience of the impact of
prostitution in their neighbourhood, and from those agencies - both
voluntary and statutory - working in this field. To find out more
