Business question from Jim Sheridan (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 22 November 2007. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

May we have a debate on the ever-increasing problem of human trafficking into this country? Young women in particular are encouraged to come to this country under the pretence of legitimate employment, only to find themselves locked into prostitution, drugs and crime. Perhaps we can follow the Swedish Government’s example of focusing on reducing demand for prostitution rather than on criminalising vulnerable young women.
