This Bill would require border control officers to stop and interview people who might be victims of human trafficking, even if EU rules would normally allow them to move freely. It aims to identify trafficking victims at the border and connect them with protection and support services, with a clear legal framework for how these interviews are to be carried out and how the information collected can be used.
The Bill is currently at the 2nd reading in the House of Commons. If it progresses, it would move to committee stage for detailed examination and then onwards to the House of Lords.
