Question to the Home Office:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what arrangements they are making, and with whom, for consultation on the guidance to support businesses in their preparation of the slavery and trafficking statement to be required by the enactment of clause 51 of the Modern Slavery Bill; and whether those consultations will involve both business and civil society.
Plans for a full and thorough consultation are currently being worked up. We recognise the importance of this measure and want to get it right. We will undertake a full consultation, involving key interested parties, including business and civil society.
