Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many (a) adults and (b) children her Department has identified as being at risk of human trafficking in (i) England and Wales, (ii) Scotland and (iii) Northern Ireland in each of the last three years.

The Home Office does not collect data on individual adults or children identified as being at risk of human trafficking. The National Referral Mechanism provides data on the number of individuals who have been referred as potential victims of trafficking, and these numbers are available on the National Crime Agency website. The National Crime Agency also regularly publishes information about the threat from serious and organised crime, including human trafficking and modern slavery.
