Proceeding contribution from Geoffrey Hoon (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 30 March 2006. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

My hon. Friend raises an important aspect of that terrible and appalling case. Those responsible have been brought before the court and given quite a severe punishment, and he is right to stress the international dimension. Organised criminal gangs stretching around the world are able to move people from one part of the globe to another, rather like commodities. That is why the Government are determined to use existing powers and take extra steps to deal with the consequences of that appalling business, and to do so at source. I am grateful for my hon. Friend’s support.
