Mobile phone companies have been called upon to block numbers of call girls often found on advertising cards littered in telephone boxes across London.
The mayor of London, Boris Johnson, is looking for an enhanced collaboration between mobile phone operators, police, and other voluntary groups, to help aim at thousands of sex calling cards found in phone boxes across the capital city.
City Hall seeks the mobile phone firms to cut off phone numbers used by criminal gangs that control prostitution as soon as they are discovered.
Through this comprehensive crackdown on prostitution, the government intends to bring down the numbers of women trafficked into the UK ahead of 2012 London Olympics.
Citing the need for this major step, the deputy mayor, Kit Malthouse claimed that major sporting events are often associated with the rise in demand for prostitution, thereby fuelling prostitution to a great extent.
