I have received the advices of the Attorney General on the joint committee's report. More recently I received the views of the Minister for Health. These are being examined. When the review of prostitution legislation has been completed, I will bring my legislative proposals to Government for approval in the usual way. A policy decision is a matter for the Government at that stage.
