View answerPart 4 of the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Act 2017 specifies that, not later than 3 years after its commencement, a Report will be prepared on the number of arrests and convictions in respect of the new offences, as well as an assessment of the impact on the welfare of those who provide sexual services for payment.
A review will be conducted within the next twelve months and, as part of this, my Department will be seeking submissions from interested parties for consideration.
