This move must, however, be seen as a beginning and not an end. The Joint Committee on Human Rights is close to completing an inquiry which is likely to call for a comprehensive overhaul of the Modern Slavery Act 2015. We have had over 800 pages of written evidence and moving oral evidence from witnesses such as Rahima Mahmut of the World Uyghur Congress. We raised it earlier this afternoon during a constructive session of the Joint Committee on Human Rights with the right honourable Shabana Mahmood MP, the Justice Secretary and Lord Chancellor.
