Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 2 February 2015 to Question 221881, whether he expects to publish the Action Plan on Modern Slavery before the Dissolution of Parliament.

HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) has appointed a Modern Slavery Strategic Lead and is fully involved in delivering the cross-Government strategy to tackle Modern Slavery. As part of this, HMRC has developed an internal Action Plan which includes training for visiting officers to improve the coordination of HMRC operations where modern slavery is suspected to be taking place. HMRC will work in collaboration with other government agencies where appropriate. There are no plans to publish the Action Plan.
