Your Committee. having taken evidence and having considered the matter referred to them, beg to report as follows: -

(1) Petitioners for the repeal of the first part of the Contagious Disease Act advance the following against the act: -

(a) The degrading and humiliating effect upon women examined under the provisions of this act.

(b) That the act recognises and therefore legalises prostitution.

(c) That by giving a false sense of security in the minds of men, it actually encourages the vicious.

(d) That the two sexes are unequally dealt with.

(e) It does not encourage prostitutes to reform.
