- Work of the Home Office. Prioritising human trafficking. 11. Throughout our inquiry we heard consistently from numerous stakeholders that the Government is prioritising work to tackle irregular migration issues at the expense of the abhorrent crimes of human trafficking, notwithstanding the fact that since 2018 over 16,000 British nationals have been referred to the national referral mechanism (NRM).3 Furthermore, some stakeholders told us that in doing so, the Government is conflating human trafficking and immigration, thus undermining the gravity of the crime of human trafficking.4 Criminal law barrister, Caroline Haughey OBE KC, argued that progress would not be made on the UK Government’s approach to tackling modern slavery and human trafficking (MSHT) until it stopped viewing MSHT policy through the lens of immigration and acknowledged that human trafficking is not an “immigration offence” (an offence against the State) but an “exploitation offence” (an offence against an individual).5 She reported “egregious” exploitation in some of the human trafficking cases she has prosecuted, including victims who felt that “the only freedom they had was whether or not they were breathing”.
