HC Deb 04 April 1995 vol 257 cc1019-20W
Mr. Alex Carlile

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will introduce measures to make it a criminal offence for citizens of the United Kingdom to make use of child prostitutes in Bosnia; and if he will make a statement. [17695]

Mr. Maclean

[holding answer 3 April 1995]: The Government condemn the sexual exploitation and abuse of children wherever it occurs. There would, however, be considerable practical difficulties in implementing any system of extended jurisdiction over such offences.
