HC Deb 11 June 1981 vol 6 c179W
21. Mr. Parry

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will introduce legislation to seek to clarify the law on soliciting and kerb-crawling.

Mr. Mayhew

The Criminal Law Revision Committee, in consultation with the policy advisory committee on sexual offences, has recently embarked on a study of the law on prostitution, which will include the problems of soliciting and kerb-crawling. We shall await the outcome of that review before reaching conclusions on the need for legislation in this field.
