Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 12 March 2025 to Question 36472 on Human Trafficking: Cambridgeshire, if she will publish a breakdown of the nationality of all National Referral Mechanism referrals between 2016 and 2024.

The Home Office publishes National Referral Mechanism (NRM) and Duty to Notify data on a quarterly basis on gov.uk and the National Crime Agencies website.

The Home office have been publishing NRM data since 2019, with the NCA publishing this previously. The Home Office also publish disaggregated data on the UK Data Service which goes back to 2014 with this data included.

This Government has been clear that identifying and supporting victims effectively is a key priority - that is why we have invested in 200 new decision makers to clear the backlog of cases and reduce wait times for victims.
