I move amendment No. 43:

In page 27, lines 18 and 19, to delete all words from and including “amended” in line 18 down

to and including line 19 and substitute the following:

“amended— (a) in section 4—
(i) by the substitution of the following subsection for subsection (3):

“(3) A person who trafficks a vulnerable person for the purposes of the

exploitation of the vulnerable person shall be guilty of an offence.”,

and

(ii) by the substitution of the following subsection for subsection (8):

“(8) In this section, ‘vulnerable person’ means a person who has—

(a) a physical disability,

(b) a mental or intellectual disability, or

(c) a mental illness,

which is of such a nature or degree as to severely restrict the person to

guard himself or herself against serious exploitation.”,
and”.
