Proceeding contribution from Rob Marris (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 12 June 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Serious Crime Bill [Lords].


Serious Crime Bill [Lords]

I am grateful to my hon. Friend for his generosity. Under schedule 1, one of the offences defined as a serious crime is people trafficking. There are also certain prostitution offences that come under the rubric of serious crime. The United Kingdom is a signatory to European convention against people trafficking, but has not yet ratified and implemented that convention. Can my hon. Friend tell us what the timetable is for the United Kingdom to act seriously and promptly on that important convention?
