Diana Johnson – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Home Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Diana Johnson on 2016-10-19.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether it is the practice of the Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner to analyse the supply chain statements of private companies in relation to modern slavery and human trafficking.

Sarah Newton

The Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner has a remit to encourage good practice in the prevention, detection, investigation and prosecution of modern slavery offences and in the identification of victims.

This can include encouraging good practice among businesses. It is for the Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner to determine how to carry out this work.

He made ‘private sector engagement to encourage supply chain transparency’ one of his five priorities in his Strategic Plan for 2015-2017 and reported on progress in his first annual report, which was published on 12 October.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what estimate she has made of the proportion of companies which have published details of the measures they are taking to eradicate slavery and human trafficking from their supply chains.

The Government has not estimated what proportion of businesses have reported so far.

We published guidance in October 2015 advising that businesses should report as soon as reasonably practicable after their financial year end, which in practice should mean within six months of an organisation’s financial year end.

Diana Johnson – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Home Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Diana Johnson on 2016-10-19.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether the Government plans to extend the time period for a Conclusive Grounds Decision in the National Referral Mechanism from 45 to 90 days.

Sarah Newton

All potential victims of modern slavery receive intensive and specialist support for a minimum of 45 days, plus a further 14 days if they are conclusively found to be a victim to assist with their return home, their reintegration into society or their transfer to mainstream support.

This level of support means that the UK is exceeding its obligations under Article 12 of the European Convention on Action Against Trafficking in Human Beings (ECAT). The Government is piloting changes to aspects of the National Referral Mechanism and we will consider whether changes to existing arrangements are needed once the pilot has been evaluated.
