Proceeding contribution from Andrew Dismore (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 8 July 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Human Trafficking.
Human Trafficking
The hon. Gentleman has done a considerable amount of work on the matter, and I apologise for the fact that I cannot stay for the whole of the debate. Has he seen the briefing prepared by ECPAT UK—End Child Prostitution, Child Pornography and the Trafficking of Children for Sexual Purposes—which highlights local authorities' lack of concern, and their inability and unwillingness to accept the protocols, particularly the Council of Europe's convention covering children, and to give victims the benefit of doubt on, for example, age? That report seems to show that local authorities have some way to go in working as part of the multi-agency approach that Pentameter is supposed to provide.
