question text	To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many cases of (a) human trafficking and (b) forced labour have been recorded by Humberside Police for each year from 2010 to 2014; in how many such cases prosecutions were brought; and what the outcomes were of those prosecutions.
tabling member constituency	Kingston upon Hull North
tabling member printed	Diana Johnson
uin	32595
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/04/2016 answer text <p>Recorded crime figures for the period 2010 to 2014 do not directly map on to the two categories in the question. Data on human trafficking for sexual exploitation shows that one case of this type was recorded by Humberside in 2012/13. Crime recording rules stipulate that only the most serious offence in a sequence of crimes is recorded, so it is possible that other cases of trafficking for sexual exploitation offences have been recorded under even more serious crime types.</p><p>On a principal offence basis, no defendants were proceeded against, convicted or sentenced at magistrates’ courts during the period 2010 to 2014 for offences related to human trafficking and forced labour in the Humberside Police Force Area. Such data is recorded on the basis of the location of the magistrates’ court where proceedings started, so it may be that an offence recorded in Humberside was then proceeded against in another police force area.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 11/04/2016 13:53:09 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning
