It is illegal in this country and this is the way I think it should be. It can be argued however that if a women is willing to give up her body for payment and a man is willing to pay then surely this is something just between themselves, what does it have to do with anyone else? It is when women are forced into this way of life when it becomes wrong as well as dangerous. See link http://www.uri.edu/artsci/wms/hughes/uk.htm for facts on Global Sexual Exploitation.
In the Netherlands where prostitution is legal, sex workers pay income tax as it was given the same status as any other labour in 1999. They are free to advertise their services and health care is readily available to them.
I am unsure of my opinion on this, it is a difficult one to summarise, probably because I am unfamiliar with the topic and don’t understand it on a personal level. There is a whole section about prostitution in the Netherlands on Wikipedia which I found very interesting to read.
