Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what data her Department holds on the number, region and countries of origin of male and female victims of modern slavery and human trafficking who have been referred to the Salvation Army in the last 10 years; if she will publish the data in a medium which hon. Members can readily access; and if she will make a statement.

The Salvation Army has been delivering support to victims of human trafficking since July 2011. They publish an annual report which summarises their activity over the year (July-June), including the number, region and countries of origin of male and female victims. The reports for 2011-12 and 2012-13 can be found on The Salvation Army’s website here: http://www.salvationarmy.org.uk/uki/Anti_Human_Trafficking_Latest_Report.

The report for 2013-14 will be published later this year.
