To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the report by Every
Child Protected Against Trafficking UK, Anti-Slavery International and the Pacific
Links Foundation, Precarious Journeys: Mapping vulnerabilities of victims of trafficking
from Vietnam to Europe, published 7 March, in particular its finding (1) that 1,127
Vietnamese children were arrested in the UK between 2012 and 2018, mostly for immigration
and drug offences, despite the known risks of trafficking amongst this group, (2)
in regard to the Government's identification and protection of Vietnamese victims
and potential victims of trafficking, and (3) that rigid policies to control immigration
and growing anti-immigration rhetoric throughout Europe and in the UK exacerbate the
vulnerability of Vietnamese adults and children to trafficking and exploitation.
