Written Answers
Development Aid: Slavery
Asked by: Lord Bates (Conservative - Life peer)
Wednesday 14th May 2025

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what is the expected allocation from the aid budget directed at tackling modern slavery for the financial years (1) 2024–25, (2) 2025–26, and (3) 2026–27.

Answered by Lord Collins of Highbury - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)

The UK is committed to playing its part in eradicating modern slavery, forced labour and human trafficking. Official Development Assistance (ODA) for programmes directed at tackling modern slavery in line with Sustainable Development Goal 8.7 totalled £9,353,770 during 2024/25. Some ODA programmes on human rights, migration, gender and conflict will also have included components that indirectly tackle modern slavery.

Decisions on how the ODA budget will be used from 2025/26 onwards will be agreed as part of the ongoing Spending Review and resource allocation processes, based on various factors including impact assessments.

Migration and Slavery: International Cooperation
Asked by: Lord Bates (Conservative - Life peer)
Wednesday 14th May 2025

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to appoint a new UK migration and modern slavery envoy.

Answered by Lord Collins of Highbury - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)

The Government is committed to playing its part in eradicating all forms of modern slavery, forced labour and human trafficking. Envoy appointments are considered on a rolling basis, based on their contribution to delivering the government's international priorities. We continue to use the strength of our global diplomatic network, including dedicated staff within the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, to address modern slavery and promote business and human rights around the world. The title of the former Migration and Modern Slavery Envoy role was revised when a Modern Slavery Envoy was appointed in 2023.
