I am sorry to intervene, but my noble friend has just produced the briefing from the English Collective of Prostitutes. The briefing looks at what happens if the order is breached and states: ""Anyone arrested for loitering or soliciting would have to attend three meetings with a supervisor"—"
We have done that; it would be approved by the court. It is not an alternative to a fine, as the noble Lord said, because, ""failure to comply may result in a summons back to court and 72 hours in jail"."
I do not know where that has come from because my own experience suggests that normally someone goes back to court and is subject to the original penalty. Perhaps the noble Lord’s officials can confirm that that is not the situation.
