Proceeding contribution from Baroness Anelay of St Johns (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 23 July 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on UK Borders Bill.


UK Borders Bill

The noble Lord, Lord Judd, has come to the end of his peroration but he makes an extremely important point, which I tried to get across in my opening remarks. I have in mind particularly children who are sent here by families who believe that they are trafficking them to a better life here, but are in fact exposing them to torture, degradation and abuse. We have to consider all the various aspects of this evil trade. The noble Lord is right to refer to that.
