- Hansard - - Excerpts

I wish to present a petition on behalf of 730 students from Levenshulme high school, who arranged a special event at the school to raise awareness of the ongoing problem of human trafficking. The petition states:

The Petition of the constituents of Manchester Withington and others,

Declares that the petitioners believe that the continuing and increasing incidence of human trafficking into the UK and across the world is a disturbing situation that brings misery to many adults and children across the globe; notes that the petitioners believe human trafficking is a stain on the moral values of the UK; and notes that the petitioners support the "STOP THE TRAFFIK" campaign.

The Petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urges the Government to take all possible steps to put an end to human trafficking.

And the Petitioners remain, etc.
