Modern Slavery Act 2015

Debate between Baroness Stroud and Lord Keen of Elie

Wednesday 13th April 2016 Lords Chamber

[Lord Keen of Elie]

There is at present no intention that there should be such a national website.

[Baroness Stroud (Con)]

The anti-slavery commissioner plays a crucial role in tackling modern-day slavery. Given that, will my noble friend please outline plans for the anti-slavery commissioner to be directly involved in the implementation of Part 6 of the Act, with particular reference to work encouraging businesses in this race to the top?

[Lord Keen of Elie]

I wonder whether the noble Baroness will allow me to write to her on the position of the commissioner, because I am not aware of his precise role in the implementation of Part 6, as distinct from his other roles.
