It was in last Sunday's Observer that I read her comments. She stated that men (or women) who use prostitutes are child abusers. That as a comment from a Government minister is obviously wrong.
It was vehemently disputed as a fact by all child protection angencies. Child prostitution is a serious problem, and a sad inditment on society, but making stupid statements doesn't help their cause.
