answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/10/2014 answer text <p>The Home Office has allocated a budget of £2.3 million to raise awareness of Modern Slavery in the UK and promote a new Modern Slavery helpline and website. The objective is to increase reporting of slavery so that more victims can be supported and protected and more perpetrators of this heinous and hidden crime are brought to justice. We have paid for a number of sponsored online and print articles in the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday to raise awareness of the issue and encourage reporting at a cost of £154,000. We are unable to give a cost for individual articles because of commercial confidentiality.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/10/2014 answer text <p>It is not possible to identify how much has been raised from fines imposed for convictions under the Licensing Act 2003, as the Ministry of Justice does not hold this information. This is because fine enforcement and collection occurs at individual local centres, with separate accounts set-up for each offender into which are paid consolidated penalty requirements (for example, compensation, victim surcharges and fines). It is therefore not possible to disaggregate these amounts by offence and payment type.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 20/10/2014 16:42:39 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning
