Modern Slavery Bill

Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hamwee (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 25 February 2015. It occurred during Debate on bills on Modern Slavery Bill.

The Minister is being very clear that there is no difference between “reason to believe” and “reasonable grounds to believe”. Many people who will encounter these provisions will have been used to the “reasonable grounds” formula through dealing with the NRM. This point is relevant to other parts of the Bill as well. Can he reassure the House that the guidance that will be published will make it crystal clear that there is no need to get to that point in the NRM procedure in order for the provisions to bite and to be applied?
