HC Deb 07 November 1996 vol 284 c653W
Mr. Sheerman

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what plans he has to introduce new measures to combat child prostitution. [2580]

Mr. Maclean

We have no plans to do so. We believe that the present law is adequate to deter and punish those who exploit child prostitutes. We will continue to encourage all the agencies concerned to give a high priority to action to prevent the sexual exploitation of children and young people.
