- Olympics: Sex Industry (9 Nov 2009) has video
Anthony Steen: As always, Mr. Speaker. The Minister says that she will work with the Met, yet the Met is planning to disband the Human Trafficking Centre in London. Bearing in mind that the traffickers see the Olympics as a honeypot, how can she tolerate that?
- Points of Order (27 Oct 2009) has video
Anthony Steen: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. I have already given you notice of this point of order, which concerns the transfer by Departments of oral questions after they have been printed on the Order Paper, after the Department has been recognised as having departmental responsibility, and after approval by the Table Office—I realise that that is not a foolproof service. Last week I tabled an...
- Points of Order (27 Oct 2009) has video
Anthony Steen: Further to my earlier point of order, Mr. Speaker. I clearly did not make the situation clear enough. I not only consulted the Table Office, but it actually drafted my question. The situation was nothing to do with the drafting, because I went to the Table Office beforehand and my question was actually drafted there. However, the Table Office could not guarantee that it would stick. I am...
- New Clause 1 — Appeals (16 Oct 2009) has video
Anthony Steen: My hon. Friend mentions the Dorset police, but is he aware that the Devon and Cornwall police are also considering the problems for Torbay, should the tall ships be racing there during the Olympics? Would that situation not be similar to that which he talks about in Dorset?

Anthony Steen: If she will hold discussions with the Director of Public Prosecutions on policy for the prosecution of human trafficking offences.
- Oral Answers to Questions — Solicitor-General: Human Trafficking (15 Oct 2009) has video
Anthony Steen: Will the Solicitor-General put on the agenda of the meeting with the DPP the question of confiscation orders against human traffickers? The orders rob traffickers of money, but they do nothing to help victims. Compensation orders for victims are allowed under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, but the money that confiscation orders take from traffickers automatically goes to the Treasury unless...

Anthony Steen: That should be good enough!
- Oral Answers to Questions — Solicitor-General: Pro Bono Work (15 Oct 2009) has video
Anthony Steen: I wonder whether the Solicitor-General is aware that many pro bono lawyers act on behalf of the victims of human trafficking to get money from the traffickers. What my hon. Friend the Member for Wellingborough (Mr. Bone) has mentioned is the real problem. The Solicitor-General may be aware from meetings with the Director of Public Prosecutions—otherwise she will just have to accept it...

Anthony Steen: What information he holds on the number of Roma children from other EU member states who attend school in Scotland.
- Oral Answers to Questions — Scotland: Roma Children (14 Oct 2009) has video
Anthony Steen: Wilberforce banished slavery 200 years ago. We have new slavery now both in Scotland and in England. We have thousands of eastern European children on the streets involved in criminal activity organised by trafficking gangs. They do not go to school. What are the Secretary of State and his counterparts doing to rid our streets of this Fagin-like situation? It is quite disgraceful and it needs...
- Oral Answers to Questions — Culture, Media and Sport: Video Games (20 Jul 2009) has video
Anthony Steen: Does the Secretary of State agree that if the entire population of Exeter were kidnapped, that would make a huge news story, yet approximately the same number of people are trafficked every year in and around Europe, be it for debt bondage or as sex slaves? Will he put his name to a suggestion that the media launch a new initiative—a new crusade—to draw attention to this worldwide...

Anthony Steen: What criteria her Department uses to allocate Grassroots grants to local community organisations.
- Oral Answers to Questions — Cabinet Office: Grassroots Grants (1 Jul 2009) has video
Anthony Steen: The number of children trafficked into Britain is increasing. The police cannot cope, and local authorities are finding that the children abscond from their homes. Why will the Government support local, voluntary and community groups more, as they can provide guardianship, legal advice and support for children in distress? I hope that the Minister does not mention the POPPY project, as that...
