    No, Harriet Harman and Labour were the ones pushing for it heavily about 5-6 years ago. Theresa May was actually ok back then (when a shadow minister) as I spoke to her several times via email. There are no plans of looking at the prostitution policy in England currently but if Labour came in again, chances are the Swedish model will be pushed heavily again.

    Ah, I'm sorry Pia. Wrong name. They all look the same to me I'm afraid that in 2015 we may well see Labour elected, that is unless UKIP pull it off. In which case there will be more to worry about.

    I wonder: will Lord Morrow, flushed with success in N Ireland, now try the same thing in Westminster—he is, after all, a member of the house of Lords. What's to stop him? Granted, a private bill introduced in the Lords without government backing is unlikely to succeed. And wouldn't there be gripes about N Ireland peers making laws for England?

    I know nothing about the NI legal system. What time frame are we looking at for this bill to become law? Weeks? Months?

    Did the UUP vote against this bill?
