Debate
National Health Service (Procurement, Slavery and Human Trafficking) Regulations 2025Contribution
My final question concerns the termination of a contract. Does the duty for a public body to take reasonable steps in contract management, as outlined in the statutory instrument, legally survive the termination of the contract if unresolved outstanding modern slavery concerns relating to service provision remain? I understand the importance of these regulations—as I say, I support them—but some of the details need to be spelled out so that we understand fully whether this measure can and will be implemented in a reasonable, funded way.
