Proceeding contribution from Pete Wishart (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 16 January 2008. It occurred during Opposition day on Human Trafficking.
Human Trafficking
The Minister will know that we in Scotland have particular problems with human trafficking. The police say that the number of incidents seems to be rising more quickly in Scotland than in the rest of the UK, with the result that it now accounts for 13 per cent. of the total trade. Responsibility for the police is a devolved matter for the Scottish Government, but all the initiatives are UK-wide. Can he reassure me that he is working hand in glove with the Scottish Government to ensure that this pernicious trade is tackled effectively in Scotland?
