Human Trafficking

The Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre, or CEOP, estimates that about 50 per cent. of trafficking involves children. Will the Minister join me in congratulating the work of the university of Bedfordshire, which is working with the NSPCC on that issue? Is he aware that it has found that children who are trafficked into this country are likely to go missing within 72 hours of being taken into social services care? There are traditional trafficking routes, so we need much greater monitoring and support for children in particular.
