HC Deb 21 December 1999 vol 341 c490W
Mrs. Brinton

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he expects to publish his Department's research on sex and drug markets. [104126]

Mr. Charles Clarke

The Home Office Policing and Reducing Crime Unit (PRCU) commissioned researchers at South Bank University to examine the links between sex and drug markets. The report "Street Business: the links between sex and drug markets" (Police Research Series No. 118) is published today and a copy has been placed in the Library.

The report findings will be considered carefully by the Government. However, the report is not a statement of Home Office policy or intention in this area.
