Modern Slavery Bill

Proceeding contribution from Bishop of Derby (Bishops (affiliation)) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 25 February 2015. It occurred during Debate on bills on Modern Slavery Bill.

I thank the Minister for what I take to be an encouraging response. I do not know a lot of the details about delegated powers and primary legislation, and, as he said, there are possible technical issues with our proposals. However, I take heart from the fact that we are in the same direction of travel. We want to increase the resource potential for this work and to look carefully at how agencies such as the Gangmasters Licensing Authority can best perform. On that basis, and in the hope of further thought being given to this matter before the next stage, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment.
