Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what support the National Crime Agency has provided to (a) security forces and (b) law enforcement to address modern slavery in Libya in the last 12 months.

The National Crime Agency (NCA) led Organised Immigration Crime Taskforce has been supporting the development of a Libya-owned serious organised crime strategy, sharing best practice with the Libyan Attorney-General’s Office. This has included building niche law enforcement capabilities with trusted Libyan partners to tackle modern slavery and organised immigration crime threats over the last 12 months. The NCA has also collaborated with European and international partners to impose UN Security Council co-designated sanctions on six Libyan and Eritrean people traffickers.
