Early day motion 887, tabled 25 October 2010 by Keith Vaz (Labour). Signed by 44 members.

That this House congratulates The Body Shop and ECPAT on their campaign to stop sex trafficking of children and young people; notes with concern that the trafficking of humans is a growing trade that exists in countries across the world; further notes that approximately 360 children are trafficked into and within the UK every year; urges the Government to opt in to the EU directive on Trafficking in Human Beings that would require child victims to receive a special representative in court proceedings when their parents cannot represent them; and calls on the Government to implement policy and legislation to support victims of trafficking in rebuilding their lives.
