Conclusion (the committee's words)
The grounds for exclusion of protection under clause 62 are broad. In particular, “bad faith” is not explained and the notion of “public order” is wide. Given the potential implications of clause 62 for victims of trafficking, and hence for the rule of law, the House may seek to have these terms more clearly defined in the Bill, in order to demonstrate explicitly the Government’s intention to comply with the UK’s international obligations under the Council of Europe Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings.
