answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/02/2015 answer text <p>We do not collect information about specific activity in specific towns. However this Government is determined to stamp out modern slavery, including human trafficking, in all its forms and wherever it occurs. The landmark Modern Slavery Bill will give law enforcement agencies the tools they need to tackle modern slavery, ensure that perpetrators can receive suitably severe sentences for these appalling crimes, and enhance support and protection for victims. The modern slavery strategy, published on 29 November 2014, sets out our comprehensive programme of activity, including actions that we expect from Government departments, agencies and national and international partners.</p><p>To drive improvements in our operational response to modern slavery across the UK, Kevin Hyland OBE has been appointed as ‘designate’ Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner. His role will ensure that more perpetrators are caught and brought to justice and more victims are effectively identified and supported.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 10/02/2015 17:30:44 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/02/2015 answer text <p>The Crime Survey for England and Wales shows that the trend in the prevalence of domestic abuse has been flat since 2007/08. <br><br>In 2012/13, the number of police recorded incidents of domestic abuse was at its highest level since 2007/08, at 838,026. In addition, latest data from the CPS show that the volume of domestic abuse referrals from the police rose to 103,569 in 2013-14 – a rise of 15,459 referrals (17.5%) from 2012-13 and the highest level ever. 72,905 (70.4% of these referrals) were charged, the highest volumes and proportions since 2007/08. We welcome this increase in reporting and find it encouraging that victims can have greater confidence that their cases will be brought to prosecution with a greater number of perpetrators brought to justice.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hornsey and Wood Green answering member printed Lynne Featherstone question first answered 09/02/2015 16:49:08 answering member 1531 label Biography information for Baroness Featherstone
