Proceeding contribution from Anthony Steen (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 24 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on European Union (Accessions) Bill.
European Union (Accessions) Bill
Does my hon. Friend agree that one reason for delaying accession—I am wholly in favour of Romania and Bulgaria joining the EU—is the level of people trafficking, particularly child trafficking, in both countries? There is no offence of child trafficking in this country, as I found out by tabling a parliamentary question on this issue. Does he share my desire that this appalling and obscene practice be stamped on as hard as possible, and does he agree that the British Government should do all that they can to ensure that that happens?
