The National Council of Women of Great Britain reaffirms its urgent desire that the Solicitation Laws shall be so amended as to be applicable to persons of either sex; so that the evidence of a police officer or officers shall, in cases where annoyance is alleged, be corroborated by the evidence of the person annoyed; so that the uncorroborated evidence of a police officer or officers shall no longer suffice for conviction; and so that the term “common prostitute” which has the effect of creating a special category of women and a presumption of solicitation, should be deleted from the Statute Book.
