UK Borders Bill

I was grateful for the Minister’s reply to my concerns and for the comments of the noble Lord, Lord Avebury. Perhaps the Minister will take the matter away and consider it. It might be helpful if a statement from him was put on the record to the effect that the Government recognise that some of those who experience trafficking are traumatised because it can be very distressing and troubling, and that the Government want the courts and the Director of Public Prosecutions to take full account of the Government’s concerns about trafficked people when they consider sentencing and processes. Something on the record could rebalance the matter slightly. I must find out more about that particular case and other similar cases, and I will contact the Minister in the Recess.
