Industry and Exports (Financial Assistance) BillContribution
We heard repeatedly that all reforms to the Modern Slavery Act would be brought forward “when parliamentary time allowed”. That is what the Government said. As I said earlier, when parliamentary time allows, we should update the Modern Slavery Act so that it is an offence to have any involvement whatever in the importing, exporting or financing of any goods whose production involved slave labour.
