Text

I thank the Member very much for giving way. I applaud his passion and the work that he has done on amendment No 78. It is clearly very important. No one wants anyone to be in prostitution, but I am mindful that I have worked with some sex workers who have come to me for support. They have often felt very far away from support. If, as a society, we are trying to help people in whatever way that we can, will the Member speak to how people who are already vulnerable will not be made more vulnerable as a result of the legislation?
