Report No. 64

4.4. Recommendation regarding 'brothel'.-

We now consider the suggestions relevant to the definition. There is a suggestion1 to add the word "conveyance" in the definition of 'brothel'.2 The reason given is that difficulties have been experienced by police officers dealing with cases in which taxies are regularly used as a brothel for the: purposes of prostitution. This situation may also arise in some places where boats may be used for similar purposes. It is also pointed out, that within the meaning of the Act, a 'public place'3 includes a public conveyance. We agree with the suggestion, as we think that the reasons given above are sound.

1. Suggestion of the Central Bureau of Correction Services.

2. Para. 4.2, supra.

3. Section 2(a), 'public place'.
