They can only be made once someone has been convicted of a relevant offence and the Crown Court has made a confiscation order against them. Modern slavery prosecutions are complex and often take a long time to complete. As the number of concluded prosecutions rise, we expect to see a rise in the number of reparation orders.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 20/11/2017 17:34:25 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins
