Text

I thank the Minister for her humanity and her leadership. Many of the asylum seekers with whom I work do not fit into the illegal immigrant narrative; indeed, one woman with whom I worked was sold as a Daesh bride and was prostituted every day for two years, with her child often present. With that in mind, will the Minister outline her Department's role in tackling modern slavery and human trafficking?
