Ms Buck

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what responses he has received to the consultation paper, New Measures to Control Prostitutes' Cards in Phone Boxes; and if he will make a statement. [113331]

Mr. Charles Clarke

We have received 60 responses to the consultation paper from local authorities, police staff associations, local residents' groups, telephone operators, organisations representing sex workers and members of the public.

We hope to make an announcement shortly on the outcome of the consultation exercise and our proposals for action.
