That the Parliament welcomes the publication of the Anti-Trafficking Monitoring Group report, Hidden in plain sight: Three years on: updated analysis of UK measures to protect trafficked persons; understands that the report examines progress made by the UK Government in combatting trafficking in human beings since the publication of the Anti-Trafficking Monitoring Group’s first report, Wrong Kind of Victim?; notes that the Anti-Trafficking Monitoring Group was established in May 2009 to coincide with the coming into force of the Council of Europe Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings in the UK and that the group monitors the UK Government’s implementation of the convention and examines all types of trafficking, including internal trafficking and the trafficking of British nationals; believes that the report is a welcome addition to the fight against human trafficking, and hopes that the UK Government will take note of some of the recommendations in the report.
