	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/07/2022 answer text <p>The Government takes reports of illegal and unsafe employment practices, including in the social care sector, incredibly seriously. Enforcement bodies, including the Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority, will take full and robust enforcement action in such cases.</p><p>The direction for the three labour market enforcement bodies is set out by the Director of Labour Market Enforcement in her annual strategy. The strategy includes an assessment of the highest risk sectors, which enables the enforcement bodies to target their activity in areas of greatest concern. The Government is guided by the annual strategy and considers appropriate policy interventions for sectors identified at highest risk, such as expanding the Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority’s licensing scheme to the care sector and will keep this under review. It is imperative that we have a strong evidence base in considering policies that will best protect vulnerable workers and drive-up standards. The Director of Labour Market Enforcement will continue to monitor sectors at risk.</p><p>Furthermore, the 2019 manifesto included a commitment for the Government to continue its campaigns to eradicate the scourge of modern slavery. We will continue our leadership in tackling modern slavery including labour exploitation.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 04/07/2022 16:17:32 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/10/2021 answer text <p>The Home Office does not hold these statistics, but is aware of reports of members of the Uyghur diaspora - including in the UK - being harassed by the Chinese authorities in an effort to intimidate them into silence, force them to return to China, or co-opt them into providing information on other Uyghurs. HMG takes a zero-tolerance approach to harassment of individuals based on ethnicity. We will continue to work closely with our international allies to protect Uyghurs and other minorities resident in the UK, and we urge anyone affected in the UK to contact the police.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 18/10/2021 13:53:37 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
