Baroness Williams of Trafford (Con)
I think the noble Baroness will know that, in discussion with the ONS and others, we have set that rate as the one we think appropriate.
Lord Randall of Uxbridge (Con) [V]
I declare my interest as a vice-chairman of the Human Trafficking Foundation. Further to the answer given to the noble and learned Baroness, Lady Butler-Sloss, can my noble friend confirm that victims of modern slavery who are not from the UK could be treated in the same way as those who are seeking asylum?
Baroness Williams of Trafford (Con)
Victims who are not from the UK will have the support and help they need to get out of the situation into which they have been forced or in which they find themselves, which is a slightly different issue from seeking asylum. In other words, you are either a victim of trafficking and slavery, in which case you need one set of support, or you are seeking asylum from a dangerous country.
