At present it is not illegal to pay for sex. Under the new legislation a man will face prosecution if he pays for sex with a woman who is being "controlled for gain" by someone else

Jacqui Smith who has vowed to target men who use women who have been forced in to the sex trade  - oh dear perhaps she shouldn't be trying to bring this legislation in right now 

But seriously how effective can this be  -

"hello love - are you a hooker ?"
"What do you charge ?"
"What are you prepared to do ?"
"Are you now or have you ever been controlled for gain  ?"

"oh you have - sorry in that case it's illegal and I will drive on. Thank you for your time"

It would be a different matter if pimps were VAT registered. . .
