Proceeding contribution from Anthony Steen (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 5 February 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Anti-Slavery Day Bill.


Anti-Slavery Day Bill

Does my hon. Friend agree that the other items, arms trading and drug trafficking, do not involve human life? This is the one crime that human beings are subject to. They are treated in the most appalling and despicable way—not much different from how they were treated under the old slave trade. This is modern slavery; I am afraid that it has not yet been abolished.
