Clause 20

Lynda Waltho (Stourbridge, Labour)
I do not recognise the description that the hon. Lady is giving. She has almost made brothels sound like homely, inviting places to go. That may be the case in the brothels that she has visited in Soho or wherever, but in Walsall or Wolverhampton and the area that I represent, we are talking about seedy places that are sometimes just as dangerous as the streets. They are sometimes in dilapidated flats on council estates. The Julia Roberts “Pretty Woman”, happy hooker description is not what I find when I talk to prostitutes and sexual outreach workers in my region.
