‘Modern-day slavery is all around us, it's in every town and city in Britain'

AdvertisementMr Buckland told Sky News: ‘A light has now been shone on an appalling litany of abuse and I’m glad to hear that the National Crime Agency is now conducting an investigation, its got a lot of power to bring in various agencies to start the work of an investigation into this.

When asked by Kay Burley why more had not been done to ‘stamp out’ modern day slavery in the past 10 years, Mr Buckland said the authorities response to it had improved but said it was also up to communities to report the crime. When pressed again on why more had not been done already, the Justice Secretary said what happened in Leicester has helped shine ‘an even more intense light on this abuse’ to allow the authorities to take ‘appropriate action’.
