Asked about the Government's recent proposals on prostitution, the PMOS said the Prime Minister fully supported the measures which had been proposed today. Fiona MacTaggart had done a very good job of explaining the Government's approach to this issue. Asked how legalising brothels fitted with the 'Respect' agenda, the PMOS said that we were not legalising brothels. The decision to allow 2 women to share the same premises for prostitution had been taken, as Fiona MacTaggart had said, for safety reasons. However if prostitutes were accused of being nuisance neighbours they would be treated no differently from anyone else.

Asked as the Prime Minister, on the basis of pubic safety, had made a statement in the House re the Litvinenko murder, would he be making a statement on the murders in Suffolk and any plans for discussion on plans for managed areas for prostitution, the PMOS said that nobody is in any about at all about the level of concern there is nationally and locally about this issue. We fully understand the impact these terrible events must be having on that particular area.
