UK Borders Bill

I agree that these things need to be properly tackled. It is understandable why a risk-based approach is adopted. You do not want to deploy disproportionate resources where those resources could be best used somewhere else to tackle another aspect of the same problem. I undertake to ensure that in the note that is sent to Members of the Committee, the fruits of the review we are carrying out are revealed, and that that information is shared with all those who have an interest in this issue. That seems only right and proper. As I understand it, arrangements are in place to deal with the very situation that the noble Lord has drawn to the Committee’s attention in regard to cruise visits and so on. We need to monitor the situation and keep it under review. We do not want there to be a weakness in the work that we undertake to combat trafficking. We treat it as a priority and it has risen up the political agenda in the past couple of years. Members of the Committee well know of the Government’s commitment to tackle people-trafficking, because of the appalling nature of the crime.
