To ask His Majesty's Government what arrangements are underway to recruit a new Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner to ensure continuity of the role and remit once the current incumbent's term ends in December.

The role of the Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner (IASC) is important to tackling Modern Slavery and supporting victims of this abhorrent crime.
