Modern Slavery Bill

Proceeding contribution from Caroline Spelman (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 4 November 2014. It occurred during Debate on bills on Modern Slavery Bill.

I commend my hon. Friend for listening to Members on both sides of the House regarding the supply chain issue and bringing forward this new clause. Does she agree that the strongest policing of the issue will come from the

large companies at the head of supply chains, because they have the infrastructure really to do due diligence and stamp out slavery down the line? The proportionate way in which she is introducing this, with company size being a factor, is one of the strongest signals we could possibly send to the wider world that we want no part of it in our supply chains.
