The Consitutional Affairs Minister Lord Falconer claimed today that the Government intends to bring forward legislation which will target gangs involved in UK child trafficking.
The increasing exploitation of young people from around the world will be the subject of a plan which is being drawn up by the Home Office and is due to be announced shortly.
Lord Falconer was speaking at a conference in Belfast today which is discussing steps to protect the welfare of children.
The minister added that the development of the internet and the increasing mobility of people made it easier to smuggle young people into the country.
