Now there are handouts for massage parlour madams
Even in the sex industry, employers are treated as 'wealth creators' but young people as burdens

this topic was mentioned in the Sunday Times today but no access online and I found it in the Grauniad.

would you like your daughter to work in the 'sex industry'? Or would you like to see pimps subsidised to employ teenagers?

Any legal employer can claim this fund however what they forget to mention is that parlours are not legal so cannot claim it
Yes it can be paid to those in other areas of the sex industry but only for those not involved in any sexual way, i.e photographers, stage hands, make up artists, lap club owners can claim for bar staff, security etc.  Not a penny is paid though for anyone who actually does sex work of any kind.

Although it is typical of this newspaper to make a story out of nothing yet again as this fund has been around a while yet they are only just mentioning it?  They also say it can be paid towards escorts which is cannot as again they take part in a sexual aspect of the job.

Hm, there are plenty of massage places the don't actually offer or perform 'sex work' and there are also escorts that are not prostitutes. I would also suggest that many strippers and 'exotic dancers' that don't offer sex would claim, with some justification, that they are not in the sex industry. Just because some services and job 'titles' have become synonymous with prostitution does not mean that legitimacy has vanished from the scene completely.  :timeout

They would qualify, they clean the London undergound tunnels.
