Trafficking Bill: MLAs vote to make paying for sex a crime

The Northern Ireland Assembly has voted by 81 to 10 in favour of making it a crime to pay for sex.

MLAs spent several hours on Monday debating the measures, which formed part of a private member's bill on human trafficking and exploitation.

At Stormont, Lord Morrow rejected criticism of his bill, saying it would be law by the middle of 2015.
