CHILD VICTIMS OF TRAFFICKING

Early day motion 172, tabled 8 November 2007 by Annette Brooke (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 120 members.

That this House acknowledges ECPAT UK and UNICEF's concern that child victims of trafficking, even after they are identified and placed in care, remain a highly vulnerable group within our society, highlighted in the recent report, Rights here, rights now: Recommendations for protecting trafficked children; congratulates the Three Small Steps campaign to Support Child Victims of Trafficking; and calls upon the Government to withdraw the general reservation on immigration and nationality on the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, to ratify the Council of Europe's Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings without delay and in order to ensure monitoring and accountability to Parliament to appoint an independent Child Trafficking Rapporteur.

Signatures by party: Labour 63, Liberal Democrat 37, Conservative 11, DUP 3, Social Democratic and Labour Party 2, Independent 1, Independent Labour 1, Scottish National Party 1, UUP 1.
