	question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government why they have issued instructions for officials to delay consideration of discretionary leave for victims of trafficking until they consider the Court of Appeal judgment in PK(Ghana) v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2018] EWCA Civ 98.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/09/2018 answer text <p>Following the judgment in PK(Ghana) officials were instructed to temporarily defer most decisions on whether to grant discretionary leave to remain to trafficking victims. This was to enable new guidance to be prepared that would take account of the findings of the Court.</p><p>Grants of discretionary leave continued to be made if it was found that a grant was necessary to enable a trafficking victim to seek compensation through the courts or to assist the police with a criminal investigation or prosecution. Victims also continued to be granted leave if they qualified for refugee status or under other provisions in the Immigration Rules.</p><p>The new guidance was published on 8 August 2018 and normal decision making has therefore resumed. The guidance is available on the GOV.UK web-pages at:</p><p><a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/732594/dl-for-victims-of-modern-slavery-v1.0ext.pdf" target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/732594/dl-for-victims-of-modern-slavery-v1.0ext.pdf</a></p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 14/09/2018 10:51:38 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford attachment 1 file name dl-for-victims-of-modern-slavery-v2.pdf title DL - Victims of Modern Slavery

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/09/2018 answer text <p>When the NCA receives notification or referrals relating to Manga or other drawn images, or computer generated imagery (CGI) material interpreted as representing a child or children involved in sexual activity, and where the material is deemed as illegal in the UK, it is investigated by law enforcement, which may include preservation orders resulting in the material being removed. If the site is outside the UK, it is reported by the NCA to the host country via Interpol channels to take appropriate action.</p><p>The NCA does not keep statistics of action taken against websites. Action to secure the takedown of websites, where the content is wholly illegal, will if the website is hosted in the UK, be progressed by the Internet Watch Foundation. The IWF Annual Report includes statistics relating to website takedown. The NCA takes action against administrators of websites hosting illegal material and individuals uploading and accessing illegal content. Data on the number of websites taken down in other countries will be available from similar organisations to the Internet Watch Foundation in other countries.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 14/09/2018 13:59:58 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
