asked Her Majesty's Government:

How many prosecutions they anticipate will be brought following the arrests made in Operation Pentameter II; and what are the main lessons learnt from that operation. [HL4761]

Of the 528 arrests made under Operation Pentameter II, we would anticipate that a number would be prosecuted for human trafficking or related offences. Decisions on prosecutions rest with the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), however, and it is not for the Government to predict the outcomes of CPS deliberations.

The results of Pentameter II are currently being analysed in depth by the United Kingdom Human Trafficking Centre in order to inform future work to combat this crime.
