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).
