Proceeding contribution from Denis MacShane (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 8 July 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Human Trafficking.
Human Trafficking
I am grateful for that last point. I hope that the Newspaper Society will read the hon. Gentleman's words and act on them, because it can take action. I want to put it to him, however, that the rate of trafficking of women and girls into Holland is proportionately higher than the rate of trafficking into the UK, according to the statistics. It is true that more are arrested, but the level of trafficking is higher because the demand is not dealt with, and legalising prostitution never deals with demand. It cannot slow down trafficking.
