Slavery and Human Trafficking Statements

Lord Watts Excerpts

Monday 16th October 2017 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Vere of Norbiton]

I am certainly not going to say that that will never happen. Businesses understand that this issue is not going away and that these statements have to be signed off by the board of directors. That means that these issues are discussed at the very top of a company, and that is important.

[Lord Watts (Lab)]

My Lords, can the Minister say when the review will take place and be completed, so that we can deal with the issues raised by a number of noble Lords?
