This Government is determined to stamp out the abhorrent crime of modern slavery. The Modern Slavery Bill will give law enforcement the tools to tackle modern slavery and enhance support and protection for victims. We will soon publish a comprehensive Modern Slavery Strategy setting out additional practical actions being undertaken.
We will also be introducing a world-leading disclosure requirement to the Bill, which will require big businesses to publicly state each year what action they have taken to ensure their supply chains are slavery free.
