To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many officials are employed
in her Department's Human Trafficking Unit; what the purpose of the unit is; and what
the role is of each such official.
<p> </p><p>A dedicated Modern Slavery Unit has been set up in the Home Office to lead
and <br>coordinate cross-Government activity to stamp out this terrible crime. The
<br>Modern Slavery Unit currently comprises 13 members of staff and is responsible
<br>for a comprehensive programme of activity, which includes development of the <br>Modern
Slavery Bill, and management of the adult victim care contract. In <br>addition, one
member of staff has been seconded from the Foreign and <br>Commonwealth Office to
lead on international issues. There are also six members <br>of staff working on the
review of the National Referral Mechanism. This team is <br>independent of the Modern
Slavery Unit.<br><br>The Modern Slavery Unit is further supported by a number of staff
across the <br>Home Office who work on related modern slavery issues including child
<br>trafficking and the Gangmasters Licensing Authority. This is in addition to <br>the
operational caseworkers in UK Visas and Immigration, who are involved in <br>decision
making on individual cases.</p><p> </p>
<p><strong>At the Budget it was announced that, from 1 July 2014, the limits for Junior
ISAs and Child Trust Funds (CTFs) will rise from £3,720 to £4,000. </strong></p><p><strong>Following
a public consultation, the Government has decided to allow the transfer of savings
from CTFs to Junior ISAs. We are committed to ensuring that there is a clear and simple
way to save for all children and believe that parents should be allowed the opportunity
to transfer from a CTF to a Junior ISA if they consider this to be the most appropriate
account for their child.</strong></p><p> </p><p><strong>The Government has clauses
in the Deregulation Bill, currently making its way through Parliament, which will
enable the transfers. We hope this option to transfer will be available by April 2015.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, from what region of Albania
the women referred to the victim support scheme operated by the Salvation Army in
(a) February 2014 and (b) April 2014 came from; what evidence from cluster data she
has to explain why most of them were pregnant when they were discovered in the UK;
what steps she is taking to prevent access to the UK without the necessary visas by
such Albanian nationals; and if she will make a statement.
<p> </p><p>The Home Office and Ministry of Justice jointly fund a national support
service for adult victims of human trafficking in England and Wales. This contract
is delivered <br>by The Salvation Army. The service is open to potential adult victims
of human trafficking (including those from Albania), identified through referral to
the National Referral Mechanism (NRM). The Salvation Army and its sub-contractors
work with victims of human trafficking from the moment they are placed in support
accommodation to help them consider their support needs and their plans to move on
from the service.<br><br>The Home Office does not hold data on the regions that Albanian
women referred to the Salvation Army are from. This information is only held within
individual <br>case records and can only be accessed through manual search. Similarly,
we do not hold data on the reasons for pregnancy of women referred to the NRM. The
Government recognises that effective reintegration support for victims is vital to
help them move on with their lives and to prevent them from being exploited in the
future. In addition, the Government is looking at what more that can be done to support
victims, including supporting them to return to their home country where appropriate.<br><br>The
Government is working closely with the Albanian Government to combat trafficking and
support victims. In November 2013, the UK Government and the Albanian Government,
working with the International Organization for Migration (IOM), established a voluntary
return package for female victims of trafficking who wished to return to Albania.
This package includes the provision of secure accommodation in Albania (with guards
and social services on site), childcare assistance where required, and training or
support to establish a business or enter the labour market. This provides the support
and assistance required for victims who wish to return to Albania to rebuild their
lives. The Albanian Government is also putting in place comprehensive measures to
tackle trafficking, such as the establishment of a National Referral Mechanism and
a dedicated police unit to tackle trafficking.<br><br>Albanians are visa nationals
and as such they require a visa to enter the UK for any purpose. We have Risk and
Airline Liaison Overseas Network staff posted around the world to assist carriers
in identifying passengers that do not have the correct documents to enter the UK.
We also have Border Force staff operating UK immigration controls in France and Belgium
who will refuse entry to those seeking to enter the UK without the correct documentation.</p><p>
</p>
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what estimate she has made
of the number of victims of human trafficking through the UK; and if she will make
a statement.
<p> </p><p>In 2013 the UK National Referral Mechanism (NRM) received 1,746 referrals
of <br>potential victims of trafficking. However, trafficking is a covert crime and
<br>victims are often hidden, making it difficult to establish the true scale of <br>the
issue.<br><br>The National Crime Agency's UK Human Trafficking Centre publishes an
annual <br>assessment of the number of victims of human trafficking. The most recent
<br>assessment was published in August 2013 and can be found on the NCA website <br>(www.nationalcrimeagency.gov.uk).<br><br>The
Government is determined to lead the global fight against human trafficking <br>(including
modern slavery), and has introduced the Modern Slavery Bill. The <br>Bill will give
law enforcement the tools to stamp out modern slavery, and <br>enhance protection
for victims. To complement the Bill, the Government is also <br>ramping up non-legislative
action to tackle this abhorrent crime.</p><p> </p>
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to the Answer
of 25 April 2014, Official Report, column 717W, on human trafficking, what information
her Department holds on the current safety of victims who received Conclusive Grounds
decisions and returned home in (a) January, (b) February and (c) March 2014; and if
she will make a statement.
<p> </p><p>The Government does not hold information on the whereabouts of victims
once <br>they have left the victim support service.<br><br>Care and support for victims,
once they receive a positive Conclusive Grounds <br>decision is being considered as
part of the review of the National Referral <br>Mechanism and as part of the re-tender
of the Government's victim support <br>service.</p><p> </p>
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to the Answer
of 25 April 2014, Official Report, column 717W, on human trafficking, what tailored
support is given to victims who have received a Conclusive Grounds decision to safely
return home; to which countries such victims returned in January to March 2014; and
if she will make a statement.
<p> </p><p>Currently, there is no specific return and reintegration package for those
who <br>have received a positive Conclusive Grounds decision and wish to return home.
<br>The Assisted Voluntary Returns package is available to nationals of non-EEA <br>countries.
Where possible and appropriate to do so, the Government will work <br>with host countries'
Government agencies to ensure that the victim receives <br>adequate support.<br><br>Information
pertaining to the countries to which victims returned via the AVR <br>programme is
not collated centrally and would require a detailed examination of <br>case files
in order to extract such data.<br><br>Between January and March 2014, The Salvation
Army recorded that 30 <br>individuals, in their care, returned to their country of
origin. These were:<br><br>Country of Origin Count <br>China 1<br>Czech Repubulic
2<br>Hungary 3<br>Latvia 3<br>Lithuania 4<br>Poland 1<br>Romania 9<br>Slovakia 4<br>Sri
Lanka 1<br>Congo 1<br>Uganda 1<br>Grand Total 30<br><br>Care and support for victims,
once they receive a positive Conclusive Grounds <br>decision is being considered as
part of the review of the National Referral <br>Mechanism and as part of the re-tender
of the Government's victim support <br>service.</p><p> </p>
