Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what plans she has for her Department to acknowledge and celebrate Anti-Slavery Day 2016; and if she will make a statement.

Anti-Slavery Day on 18 October is an important opportunity to reflect on achievements to date in tackling this appalling crime and to continue to raise awareness of it. We have made good progress, but there is more to do. I will announce my plans in due course.
