Justice minister Ard van der Steur and transport minister Melanie Schultz van Haegen addressed the issue after ChristenUnie politician Gert-Jan Segers tabled a question in parliament about ‘illegal prostitution’. The ministers’ reply: offering driving lessons in exchange for sex did not amount to prostitution, since sex was not being sold. However, performing the transaction the other way round – offering sex for lessons – would be an offence. Both parties also have to be over 18.
