Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Hanson of Flint on 14 April (HL14589), what assessment they have made of reporting by the BBC on 24 April that Jeffrey Epstein paid for at least five women to study in London; and whether they will now review their assessment  that there is "no evidence" of English-language course enrolment being misused for trafficking.

The Home Office monitors trafficking and exploitation risks across the immigration system and identifies and supports potential victims, including through the National Referral Mechanism.

There is no evidence indicating systemic misuse of English‑language course enrolment for trafficking or exploitation purposes.
