HC Deb 21 January 1971 vol 809 cc312-3W
39. Mrs. Knight

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what steps he intends taking to deal with the problem of child prostitution in Birmingham.

Mr. Sharples

It is for the police to investigate allegations of criminal offences. Thorough investigations put in hand by the Chief Constable do not confirm the suggestion that the problem occurs on a serious scale in Birmingham.
