11:50 am

As part of the work the committee is doing on prostitution and sex trafficking, we have received a number of representations arguing for a separation of the issue of trafficking from prostitution. On the other hand, people like Commissioner Malmström and the EU anti-trafficking co-ordinator, Myria Vassiliadou, have said the two issues are inextricably linked and must be tackled together in order to protect women and children across Europe and the world. Will Ms Benson comment on why it is being proposed that we separate the two issues rather than dealing with them together?
