Under cover of a letter dated 18 December 2007 from
Vernon Coaker MP, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State at the
Home Office, we received the Government's Response to our Twenty-first
Report of Session 2006-07, Human Trafficking: Update (HL
Paper 179, HC 1056). We publish the Minister's letter and the
Government Response as an Appendix to this Report. We will comment
as appropriate on this Response in future Reports which we publish
dealing with human trafficking.
