During a Home Affairs Committee, Suella Braverman, the home secretary, addressed concerns about organized prostitution in her constituency. Dame Diana Johnson, a Labour MP, highlighted that an adult website listed 300 sex worker adverts in Braverman’s Hampshire constituency, with half of them indicating signs of human trafficking. Braverman mentioned the “new mechanisms in legislation” to address trafficking, exploitation, and prostitution. Johnson then questioned Braverman about provisions for victims of sexual exploitation who were trafficked into the UK through illegal routes. Braverman acknowledged that trafficked women could be deported under measures to combat illegal migration. Former Prime Minister Theresa May previously expressed concerns that the Illegal Migration Bill could harm efforts to tackle human trafficking. Braverman assured that victims could claim exemptions, but stressed the need to prevent false claims of modern slavery. When discussing the backlog of asylum cases, Braverman acknowledged that there were constant new cases due to migrants crossing the English Channel. She confirmed that around 1,200 migrants had arrived in the UK in recent days. Braverman faced questions regarding over 100 missing unaccompanied child asylum seekers, with the Scottish National Party (SNP) MP Alison Thewliss asking what actions the Home Office was taking to locate them. Braverman stated that missing children were taken seriously, and efforts were made in collaboration with local authorities and the police to find them. She also defended the Rwanda policy as a deterrent to prevent people from making illegal journeys and to stop human smuggling gangs. Braverman added that as of last week, no children were held in hotels in the UK, but acknowledged that the recent influx of arrivals could have changed the situation.
