If the case is awaiting hearing at court, an adjournment will be requested until the NRM decision has been made.</p><p>Where a child has an NRM decision in their favour, a prosecutor will consider this to be persuasive evidence of their trafficked status and will not bring a prosecution unless there is other strong evidence to the contrary and the offence is so serious as to require prosecution.</p> answering member constituency South Swindon answering member printed Robert Buckland question first answered 23/10/2018 10:11:39 answering member 4106 label Biography information for Sir Robert Buckland
