	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/09/2021 answer text <p>The Ministry of Justice holds data on prosecutions and court outcomes for modern slavery offences; however, centrally held information in the courts proceedings database cannot identify the exact circumstances of the offence that led to a slavery or trafficking reparation order, for example, to identify that it was issued under the Modern Slavery Act 2015 as a result of a Daesh atrocity. This information may be held on court record but can only be obtained by manually searching court records at disproportionate cost.</p> answering member constituency South Suffolk answering member printed James Cartlidge question first answered 29/09/2021 11:34:20 answering member 4519 label Biography information for James Cartlidge
