HC Deb 01 March 1982 vol 19 c19W
Mr. Parry

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will introduce legislation to deal with the problem of kerb crawling.

Mr. Mayhew

As I indicated in my reply to a question by the hon. Member on 11 June 1981, we shall await the outcome of the review by the Criminal Law Revision Committee and the Policy Advisory Committee on Sexual Offences before reaching conclusions on the need for legislation in this area. I understand that the Criminal Law Revision Committee hopes to publish a working paper within the first half of this year inviting comment on its provisional proposals on the law on prostitution, including kerb crawling.—[Vol. 6, c.179.]

Mr. Parry

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what representations he has received concerning introducing legislation to deal with the problem of kerb crawling; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Mayhew

Since my reply to a question by the hon. Member on 1 July 1981, representations have been received from three hon. Members and one member of the public.—[Vol. 7, c.391.]
