UK Bill Could Expand Modern Slavery Reporting for Public Bodies and Suppliers
The UK Government plans to advance Modern Slavery Act reporting reforms through the Immigration and Asylum Bill, potentially extending duties to public-sector organisations and introducing fines of up to £1 million or 1% of turnover or budget, whichever is higher. Public-sector contractors should review supplier-risk records and remediation evidence, while the broader due-diligence regime and forced-labour import ban remain undecided.
