Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, when the Action Plan on Modern Slavery, to be prepared by HM Revenue and Customs' new Modern Slavery Strategic Lead, will be published.

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has appointed a Modern Slavery Strategic Lead and is fully involved in delivering the cross-Government strategy to tackle Modern Slavery. As part of this, HMRC is working to improve the coordination of HMRC operations where modern slavery is suspected to be taking place and to ensure effective liaison with other Government agencies.
