Home Office

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 4th February 2005, 430 c1153W, on people trafficking, what administrative procedures would need to be put in place to collect this information; and if he will take the necessary steps to collect it.

Answer: Mr. Hancock: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department pursuant to the answer of 4 February 2005, Official Report, column 1153W, on people trafficking, what administrative procedures would need to be put in place to collect this information; and if he will take the necessary steps to collect it. [216456] Mr. Browne: In order to provide the requested information, we would need to set in place administrative and staffing arrangements to enable us to conduct a review of all relevant individual case files for the period. This would represent a disproportionate cost. I regret therefore that I will not be able to put these procedures in place.
