Proceeding contribution from Jack Straw (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 4 December 2008. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Debate on the Address.


Home Affairs and Justice

It may help my hon. Friend if I deal with that issue, which was also raised by an Opposition speaker. There was a funding issue in connection with the continuation of the human trafficking unit in the Metropolitan police. However, I am happy to report to the House that it has been resolved for the forthcoming financial year, by agreement, to fund the unit jointly between the Home Office and the Metropolitan Police Service. Meanwhile, an urgent review is being carried out so that future funding is assured.
