To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Murray of Blidworth on 22 November (HL3235), what are the reasons for the delay in appointing an Independent Anti-slavery Commissioner; and what is their timetable for making the appointment.

The process to recruit a new Independent Anti-slavery Commissioner (IASC) follows the principles set out within the Cabinet Office Governance Code on Public Appointments.
A fair and open recruitment campaign is underway, and it would be inappropriate to comment any further while this process is ongoing.
A decision on the appointment is currently under consideration.
