Human Trafficking

I am most grateful to the Minister. This is a home affairs debate, but he was right to say that the problem demands international action and that that action should be focused on the EU's borders. It is interesting that Bulgaria and Romania, to which my hon. Friend the Member for Totnes (Mr. Steen) referred, both ratified the convention on trafficking some time ago, whereas I understand that Lithuania is not even a signatory to it. As a result of this debate, will he speak to his colleagues in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and ensure that they too are engaged in the fight against human trafficking?
