There is a large carve-out in the Bill for items relevant to this offence, including but not limited to—we discussed this earlier—clothing, medication, safety-at-sea equipment and food items. Those items, if confiscated, would be unlikely to be relevant to modern slavery claims or the national referral mechanism decision, but would still be documented by those who seize them and used as part of the investigation into criminal smuggling gangs as a whole. Those items are likely to be disposed of.
