The data held is reported individually by police forces and law enforcement agencies and may therefore not reflect the full picture of NRM referrals as it is not possible to determine from the NRM database directly which referrals relate to AIDANT activity.</p><p>Data on the number of potential victims detained prior to identification is not held centrally.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 23/04/2019 13:28:46 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins
