Enslavement of Black Africans (Libya)

Proceeding contribution from Lyn Brown (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 18 December 2017. It occurred during e-petition debate on Enslavement of Black Africans (Libya).

I am sorry to interrupt the Minister’s flow, because what he is saying is really helpful, but two questions emerge from it. First, the UN has asked for

additional funding; does he know of any additional money that we are contributing to deal with the slave trade? Secondly, advertisements are encouraging young people in sub-Saharan Africa to leave their homes in search of a better life via traffickers. Has any contact been made with social media companies to get hold of the people advertising those routes and deal with them?
