Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if her Department will centrally publish the (a) companies who are required to report and (b) companies who have reported under the Modern Slavery Act 2015.

We are not currently planning to publish a list of businesses who are required to report or who have reported under the Modern Slavery Act 2015. A number of non-governmental organisations are already collating and monitoring statements from businesses that are required to report. We are considering whether any additional steps might be necessary to make this monitoring more consistent and transparent, without duplicating the work already undertaken.
