Modern Slavery Bill

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

In the wake of the recent controversies, particularly the reports about the Thai fishing industry, the Prime Minister’s official spokesperson said that it is up to consumers whether they buy goods associated with slavery. That is clearly not good enough because consumers are not in a position to know that. Surely the Government need to go further. Will the Home Secretary dissociate herself from those remarks?
