I know we discussed this on Tuesday with the noble Baroness, Lady May of Maidenhead, but the mechanisms are already there to support those with insecure immigration status who may be victims of abuse. The national referral mechanism is in place under the Modern Slavery Act to ensure that individuals can be properly identified and supported. That is a structured, compassionate route for potential victims of modern slavery to receive help without fear of intimidation and immediate immigration consequences. I hope that reassures the noble Baroness and the noble Lord. We will see in due course, but I hope it does.
