I could be completely wrong, but I don't think that is going to work, because who wants to be a registered prostitute?
I'm not sure there is a way to arrange prostituting in the UK so that no-one gets hurt, not while the prostitutes or clients consider the whole business to be something they are forced into, perhaps by addiction.
I didn't say that selling should be illegal, just buying... to avoid hurting the women with prosecutions.
Perhaps there is a way of using the financial aspect to help the women: set a minimum legal charge for sexual services. Price it so high that few men will pay, but once is enough for the women to have a choice of avoiding sexual encounters for a year or two!
