Proceeding contribution from John Greenway (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 16 January 2008. It occurred during Opposition day on Human Trafficking.
Human Trafficking
It is members of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe who have taken the lead on this issue on a cross-party basis. My hon. Friend is right, and I congratulate him on securing the debate, but will he ensure that we concentrate not just on the trafficking of human beings for the sex trade, which is appalling, but on the trafficking of children and of people in boats from north Africa? Those boats have nothing else to do, because all the fish have been taken away. We should do something about stopping them in the first place.
