To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps the Government is taking to end sex trafficking in the UK.
Victoria Atkins
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department
The Government has provided £8.5m of additional funding to the police in England and Wales to tackle all forms of modern slavery by providing bespoke and dedicated modern slavery capabilities, including intelligence and training functions. In addition, the National Crime Agency is coordinating a series of intensifications across the UK against key modern slavery threats, including sex trafficking.
Policing in Scotland and Northern Ireland is a devolved responsibility, however both police forces work closely with their English and Welsh counterparts to share intelligence and align resources against common modern slavery threats, including sex trafficking.
