On slavery and trafficking risk and prevention orders, our ambition is to ensure that law enforcement agencies have the right tools and use them to pursue perpetrators, prevent modern slavery and protect those at risk. Although we will always keep under review the effectiveness of all our tools for disrupting serious crime, the Government believe that placing a statutory requirement for an independent reviewer would introduce additional bureaucracy without clear operational benefit. We believe that the current oversight framework strikes the right balance between judicial scrutiny, operational effectiveness and proportionality. I therefore urge noble Lords not to press their amendment.
