HC Deb 05 December 1957 vol 579 c78W
85. Mr. Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what evidence was given to the Wolfenden Committee by his Department, or by the Metropolitan Police, with regard to part-time prostitutes.

Mr. R. A. Butler

No evidence about part-time prostitutes was given to the Committee by the Home Office. I am informed by the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis that there were incidental references to part-time prostitutes in the evidence given by him and his officers, but since the law does not distinguish between whole-time and part-time prostitutes there was no occasion for detailed evidence on this point.
