That this House offers its condolences to the friends and family of Tania Nichol, Gemma Adams, Anneli Alderton, Paula Clennel and Annette Nicholls; notes that violence against women is endemic in society; calls on the Government to make more funding available for schemes which enable women to exit prostitution, including those women who are drug addicts; and further calls on the Government to introduce an amnesty for all women involved in prostitution in order that they can seek services free from fear.
