This is "The Wolfenden Report", which dealt also with prostitution. The committee, chaired by Sir John Wolfenden, was appointed on 24 August 1954 to consider the law and practice relating to homosexual offences, the treatment of offenders by the courts, and the law and practice of prostitution.

Recommendations were asked for. It was largely because of the liberal recommendations of the Wolfenden Committee that the 1967 Sexual Offences Act gave a measure of freedom to consenting homosexual adults in their private behaviour. That the 1967 Act was inadequate in many respects has repeatedly been pointed out by such bodies as the Campaign for Homosexual Equality (CHE).
