§ Mrs. GoldingTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many people were charged with living off the immoral earnings of child prostitutes in each year since 1989; and what was the average sentence for such offenders on conviction. [89583]
§ Mr. BoatengDetailed information on the number of people charged is not collected centrally.
Although the Home Office Cautions and Court Proceedings Databases identify persons cautioned or proceeded against for offences of
living off immoral earnings or exercising control over prostitute(S30 and S31 combined of the Sexual Offences Act 1956), they do not hold information on the age of the prostitute.
