Conclusion
Although there is no absolute right for victims of trafficking or slavery to be granted limited leave to remain, Article 14 of ECAT requires states to take into account the needs of the victim when making decisions regarding leave to remain. Such 126 Legislative Scrutiny: Illegal Migration Bill decisions should not be based solely on the means and method of entry into the UK and whether or not the victim is cooperating with an investigation. Clause 21 should be removed from the Bill (see Annex, Amendment 27).
