Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what role his Department plays in preventing human trafficking.

Britain’s diplomatic missions are implementing the Modern Slavery Strategy, working with foreign governments in source and transit countries to build their capacity to disrupt and tackle human trafficking. They also support local investigators to increase the rate of prosecutions, conduct awareness raising projects and address the root causes of modern slavery through the Department for International Development’s work in the world’s poorest countries.
