Include Legislation on Supply Chains in the Modern Slavery Bill
We call on the Government to include an amendment to the Modern Slavery Bill so as to ensure it legislates on slavery within the supply chains of businesses.
Over two hundred years after William Wilberforce’s success in abolishing the slave trade, the British Parliament has a second opportunity to abolish slavery entirely. This minor alteration to the Modern Slavery Bill would have a huge impact. It would convert a good piece of legislation into a world leader.
Once again Britain has the opportunity to lead the global fight against slavery internationally so I urge the Government not to miss this opportunity and to support an amendment to the Modern Slavery Bill so as to ensure it legislates on supply chains.
