Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what plans she has to address the increase in male victims of trafficking; and if she will make a statement.

The nature and scale of modern slavery is kept under constant review to ensure that our response to this terrible crime is strong, effective and flexible. Specialised support for male victims of trafficking is currently offered through the victim care contract run by The Salvation Army, in England and Wales. We continue to assess the needs of potential victims identified through the National Referral Mechanism to ensure that our support services meet the specific needs of individual victims to help them recover from their ordeal.
