Transcript if anyone needs:

Asked about concerns her bill could drive prostitution to an unregulated and underground system, Ms Regan said: "There is no basis for any of those assertions. "If you even think for one second, you cannot possibly drive prostitution underground." "If you had a lot of women in underground cellars with a locked door, how would the punters get to them?" The Herald clarified that the point being made was that if someone wants to buy sex, they would simply do so illegally. Asked if that made sense, Ms Regan said: "No. It does not really make sense whatsoever."
