Modern Slavery Bill

Proceeding contribution from Yvette Cooper (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 8 July 2014. It occurred during Debate on bills on Modern Slavery Bill.

As the Home Secretary knows, we strongly support the legislation, but on that point, I understand that in its research the charity Kalayaan found that since the visas were changed, 60% of those on the new domestic workers visa were paid no salary at all, compared with 14% on the original visa. That is a worrying increase since the visa change. Has the right hon. Lady looked at that research?
