Protection of Freedoms Bill

The right hon. Gentleman makes an important point, and for the reason he cites we asked the Children's Commissioner to review the practical care arrangements for trafficked children. We said that the right step at this stage was to seek that input, rather than to seek to legislate, recognising equally that several local authorities are already undertaking some very good practice. I recognise that, in respect of the hon. Lady's amendments, that might not be sufficient, but it was important that I respond and set out those points to the House this evening. Question put, That amendment (a) to Lords amendment 30 be made. The House divided: Ayes 207, Noes 300.
