Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how much her Department has spent on (a) raising greater public awareness of modern slavery, (b) providing detailed information on the numbers and locations of victims of trafficking and traffickers and (c) specific police forces' campaigns to tackle modern slavery.

The Home Office is spending £2.3million on a modern slavery publicity campaign to raise greater public awareness of modern slavery and encourage reporting to the new modern slavery helpline, launched on 31 July. This includes the costs of all planning, media buying, agency fees and production.

Detailed information on the numbers and locations of victims of trafficking and traffickers is provided by the Salvation Army and the National Crime Agency. Specific funding is not provided by the Home Office for this purpose; it is funded through existing resource costs.

The Home Office does not hold information on the costs of specific police force campaigns. This information is held by the individual police forces.
