Orders of the Day: UK Borders Bill (5 Feb 2007)

Ann Cryer: ...of the new centre in Sheffield to deal with trafficking, and the changes in the law that will enable prosecutions to take place regardless of whether the act of human trafficking has taken place inside or outside the UK, and irrespective of the nationality of the person carrying out the act. I trust that those measures will lead to a marked reduction in the sum total of human misery...

Home Affairs and Communities (23 May 2005)

Ann Cryer: It has been a pleasure to sit in the Chamber this afternoon and listen to the speeches of recently elected hon. Members. That has been said before, but it is worth reiterating.

How will we know who are non-UK nationals if we depend on employers, such as the gangmaster who allowed the men to die in Morecambe bay,...

Debate on the Address — [First Day] (26 Nov 2003)

Mrs Ann Cryer: I start by dealing with a particular aspect of the Gracious Speech: "My Government will take forward work on an incremental approach to a national identity card scheme and will publish a draft Bill in the new year." I want to talk about identity cards because I know that many hon. Members are concerned about their introduction. If people are living honest lives and are not of a criminal bent,...
