Claims relating to human trafficking can arise in a range of different types of litigation \u2013for example immigration, unlawful detention or claims under Article 4 of the ECHR (prohibition of slavery and forced labour).<\/p>
The Treasury Solicitor\u2019s Department does not maintain data which would readily enable claims from victims of trafficking to be distinguished from the other claims they handle. To obtain an accurate compensation figure would therefore involve disproportionate cost.<\/p>

Both the police and CPS are independent of Government and save in cases which require his consent to prosecute the Attorney General has no role to play in the decision to apply to a court for a European Arrest Warrant (EAW). The alleged offence in this case did not require Attorney General\u2019s consent and he was not, therefore, consulted prior to the application for a warrant.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
After the EAW had been obtained, as superintending Minister for the CPS, the Attorney General did discuss the case with the CPS; but the decision to apply to withdraw the warrant remained entirely that of the CPS.<\/p>
