Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment he has made of the effectiveness of the 2014 Modern Slavery Strategy in reducing the prevalence of human trafficking and modern slavery in the UK and throughout the world.

The UK Government has had an ambitious Modern Slavery Strategy in place since 2014 and continues to focus on implementing this Strategy. Significant progress has been made in delivering the actions in the Modern Slavery Strategy and this work is detailed in the 2018 UK Annual Report on Modern Slavery.

This report also provides an assessment of performance across a range of indicators and future plans to build on this. The 2018 Annual Report can be found here:
