It is reported to the court and, as I understand it, the original fine can then be instigated instead of the order that has been breached—or, indeed, the person can be summoned to court. I will look into the detail of the point. However, I am concerned about the information being relayed by the English Collective of Prostitutes because while it appears to be rounded, I think that it may be incorrect on several points. I am happy to write to noble Lords to set out the position.
Failure to comply would lead to a summons. A failure to comply with the summons would mean that the court could issue a warrant for the person to appear. They can be sentenced, but not be given a custodial sentence. The order is that, first, they breach the order; secondly, they have to comply and come to court; thirdly, they ignore it and a warrant is issued for them to come back to court, but in any event they cannot be given a custodial sentence.
