Proceeding contribution from Ann Cryer (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 16 January 2008. It occurred during Opposition day on Human Trafficking.
Human Trafficking
Does my hon. Friend regard forced marriage as part of the problem? It is a form of trafficking, yet it is not regarded as a criminal offence, despite the fact that many girls are taken from this country to the Indian subcontinent and forced to consummate so-called marriages. It is a form of rape.
