Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Lord Field of Birkenhead (Labour), on Wednesday, 28 February 2018, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 85 members in total.


SUPPORT FOR VICTIMS OF MODERN SLAVERY

That this House notes the lack of long-term support offered to victims of modern slavery; recognises the risk of victims being re-trafficked if they do not have a secure pathway to adequate levels of support, including a period of leave to remain; regrets the missed opportunities to convict more perpetrators of modern slavery crimes because victims' personal circumstances leave them unable to engage with law enforcement agencies; and calls on the Government to provide victims of modern slavery with the option of 12 months' support and assistance including leave to remain following a positive conclusive grounds decision.
