Proceeding contribution from Anthony Steen (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 16 January 2008. It occurred during Opposition day on Human Trafficking.


Human Trafficking

I suggest to the hon. Gentleman that there is a distinction to be drawn between prosecution and conviction. According to an answer to a recent parliamentary question, only 30 traffickers of human beings for sexual purposes had actually been convicted. Everyone constantly talks about prosecution; I suggest that the hon. Gentleman ask the Minister about convictions.
