Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many people convicted of human trafficking offences in the last three years have been returned to a country of origin (a) within the EU and (b) outside the EU to serve a prison sentence.

The information requested is not collected centrally and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.

Only main offences are recorded centrally, so offenders may have human trafficking offences as secondary offences which could only be found by examining individual case files.
