ROW FOR FREEDOM ATLANTIC CROSSING

That this House congratulates the five strong Row for Freedom crew on their historic achievement of completing the fastest crossing of the Atlantic Ocean by an all-female team and the first crossing of any ocean by a five-woman team; applauds the courage and determination of the crew of The Guardian: Debbie Beadle, Julia Immonen, Helen Leigh, Katie Pattison-Hart and Kate Richardson; and expresses its gratitude for the way in which their exploits highlighted the plight of victims of human trafficking and the efforts of organisations to combat it.
