Proceeding contribution from Lord Alton of Liverpool (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 18 January 2016. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Immigration Bill.


Immigration Bill

Before the noble Baroness leaves the point about resources, she may recall that during the proceedings on the modern slavery and human trafficking legislation we were told that between 2011 and 2014 the Gangmasters Licensing Authority saw a reduction of 17% in its budget—a figure that I think we can all comprehend very easily. I wonder—this is directed at the Minister partly through the noble Baroness—whether the figures that he has just given represent a real increase on those reductions and whether we are seeing a reinstatement of the moneys that were cut.
