	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/10/2018 answer text <p>The figures for the number of suspected victims of trafficking or modern slavery referred into the National Referral Mechanism (NRM) are published by the National Crime Agency. The NRM is a framework for identifying victims of human trafficking or modern slavery and ensuring they receive the appropriate support. In 2017, 5145 potential victims of trafficking were referred to the NRM, of which 1384 were referred by the police. For 2018 (up to the end June) there has been 3289 referrals into the NRM, of which 995 were via the police.</p><p><br>In order to understand how many of those referrals by the police were subsequently deported (or removed) we would need to extract the biodata from the NRM systems and cross-match it with the Case Information Database (CID). This data is not currently available at this time.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 23/10/2018 16:07:53 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes

	tabling member constituency	Bethnal Green and Bow
	tabling member printed	Rushanara Ali
	uin	179213
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/10/2018 answer text <p>There is currently no provision in the Immigration Rules for children with refugee status in the UK to sponsor family members to join them. Allowing children to sponsor parents would create further incentives for more children to be encouraged, or even forced, to leave their family and risk hazardous journeys to the UK to sponsor relatives. This plays into the hands of criminal gangs who exploit vulnerable people and goes against our safeguarding responsibilities.</p><p>The Government believes the best interests of children are reflected in remaining with their families, claiming asylum in the first safe country they reach that is the fastest route to safety and relying on resettlement schemes to travel safely.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 23/10/2018 16:30:36 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes
