§ 71. Mr. Parkinasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what inquiries have been made, with a view to prosecution for living on immoral earnings, of the owner of premises in Berwick Street, Soho, from the third floor of which a prostitute recently fell to her death owing £1,680 in arrears of rent.
§ Mr. BrookeThe Commissioner of Police informs me that inquiries have been made into the circumstances of this case, but that no evidence has been found which would justify a prosecution under the Sexual Offences Act, 1956, in connection with these premises. The sum of £1,680 was an award by way of damages in an action for trespass.
