Scottish Coalition Against Sexual Exploitation says campaign group Scot-Pep excluded because meeting was not forum for discussing criminalisation 'pros and cons'
Sex workers accused an MSP yesterday who plans to criminalise their clients of locking them out of a Holyrood meeting on the issue.

But grass-roots group Scot-Pep members said they had been barred from the meeting.
