Written Question
Prostitution
Monday 2nd November 2015

Asked by: Baroness Miller of Chilthorne Domer (Liberal Democrat - Life peer)

Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government which police forces contributed to the national Ugly Mugs Scheme during 2014–15.

Answered by Lord Bates

The National Ugly Mugs Scheme is a mechanism for reporting crimes committed against people involved in prostitution. The Home Office provided £108,000 for the pilot scheme that ran from April 2012 to March 2013, coordinated by the UK Network of Sex Worker Projects. The evaluation of the pilot is available on its website.

The previous Government supported the pilot as part of its drive to end violence against women and girls. This Government is pleased that the evaluation of the scheme shows that it was successful in increasing access to justice and protection for those involved in prostitution. Police forces have been encouraged to contribute financially to the scheme, given its crime prevention focus and its role in encouraging reporting and contributing to intelligence. That is a decision for individual forces, and the Home Office does not collect information regarding which forces have contributed.
