question text	To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 8 September 2014 to Question 207071, for what reasons the correct agencies for exchanging information relevant to policing international football matches would be difficult to identify if the UK ceased to be bound by Council Decision 2002/348/JHA.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/10/2014 answer text <p>If the UK ceased to be bound by Council Decision 2002/348/JHA, it would cease to be a member of the National Football Information Points (NFIPs) network. <br><br>Information exchange between Member States independent of the structure and obligations of the NFIP risks making it more difficult to guarantee appropriate high-quality information. The lack of structure and obligations would make it more difficult to identify the correct agency with which to deal and could lead to a reduction in the quality and quantity of information exchanged, making it harder to protect the public.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 22/10/2014 16:47:50 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/10/2014 answer text <p>The data in the following tables is management information collated by the Gangmasters Licensing Authority (GLA). The data relates only to investigations involving the GLA and prosecutions initiated by the GLA in relation to the offences in the Gangmasters (Licensing) Act 2004. The investigations data includes GLA-only investigations as well as those in which GLA have worked jointly with partner agencies (including the police forces, Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs, National Crime Agency and the UK Human Trafficking Centre). <br><br>Over time the GLA has undertaken a reduced number of more complex investigations which focus more effectively on serious and organised crime. This reflects a targeting and risk-based enforcement approach by the GLA. Only one GLA-initiated prosecution has ever failed to return a conviction.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 24/10/2014 17:16:07 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley attachment 1 file name PQ 210778 - data tables.xls title Management information

uin	210552
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/10/2014 answer text <p>The Government funds the Adult Human Trafficking Care and Co-ordination contract which ensures that potential victims of trafficking receive <br>appropriate care and support once they have been identified. As part of this contract and in compliance with our international obligations (Council of Europe Convention and the EU Directive on Trafficking in Human Beings), the Home Office has made it a core requirement for the Contractor to provide access to a range of specialist services, including therapy and counselling, to victims of trafficking who request or require it. <br><br>Such services are not necessarily related to pre-trial circumstances. Most victims of trafficking who are assisting the police are usually called to trial after they have left the service. As a result, pre-trial therapy and counselling would be received from other sources and not under the contract. For this reason, the Home Office does not collect the requested information.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 21/10/2014 16:09:19 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley previous answer version 22515 answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley
