Modern Slavery Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Hylton (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 4 March 2015. It occurred during Debate on bills on Modern Slavery Bill.

My Lords, it is not just trafficked people who need physical, psychological and social support when they arrive here; the same is true of many asylum seekers who have experienced torture, rape and imprisonment as well as arduous journeys to get here. Many Members of both Houses have pointed this out on successive immigration and asylum Bills. However, I am not sure that the Home Office yet fully reflects these points in its day-to-day practice, particularly as regards women asylum applicants. I strongly support the amendment.
