not available. Given the clandestine nature of illegal migrants, any
estimation is extremely difficult and there would be considerable uncertainty

The latest National Policing Commercial Cannabis Cultivation Problem Profile,
published in 2012, includes statistics on the identification of cannabis farms
across the UK. The main finding of the report is that there was a significant
rise in the identification of cannabis farms in 2011/12, from 6866 in 2009/10,
to 7660 cannabis farms in 2010/11 and 7865 cannabis farms in 2011/12. The
document can be found at:
http://www.acpo.police.uk/documents/crime/2012/20120430CBACCofCPP.pdf
The Government works closely with the police to support the policing of illegal
cannabis cultivation. The police response to tackle commercial cannabis
cultivation includes proactive operations to identify and close down these
farms and disrupt the organised crime groups behind them. The police also work
to improve their knowledge and understanding of the trade through activity-led
intelligence gathering.<\/p>

It is the general policy of the Home Office not to disclose to a third party
personal information about another person's immigration status unless there is
a substantial public interest in doing so. In cases where there is a genuine
and legitimate public interest in disclosure, we will comment to the extent
necessary. This is underpinned by the first data protection principle, which
allows for the disclosure of non-sensitive personal data for the exercise of
functions of a public nature in the public interest.<\/p>

The Modern Slavery Stakeholder Forum was set up in February 2014 and has met three times. Its pre-cursor, the Joint Strategic Group, was set up in early 2013 and also met three times. The Modern Slavery Stakeholder Forum provides an opportunity for the Home Office to engage with partners, understand what is happening on the front-line, and develop policy collaboratively. Non-Governmental attendees have the opportunity to engage with officials and Ministers, and to influence policy making.
The minutes of these meetings are made available to all attendees and are public documents available to anyone who requests them. However, it is not considered appropriate to place the minutes of each meeting in Library of the House.
The invite list for these meetings is subject to regular review and attendance varies depending on the availability of those invited and the topics for discussion. At the last meeting of 10 June 2014, 16 public officials attended which included officials from the Home Office, other government departments, law enforcement agencies and the devolved administrations. 20 representatives of non-governmental organisations were invited of whom 15 attended. Separate meetings are held with private sector representatives.
No advisors or experts, paid for by public funds, are ordinarily invited to the stakeholder forum meetings.<\/p>

The Modern Slavery Stakeholder Forum was set up in February 2014 and has met three times. Its pre-cursor, the Joint Strategic Group, was set up in early 2013 and also met three times. The Modern Slavery Stakeholder Forum provides an opportunity for the Home Office to engage with partners, understand what is happening on the front-line, and develop policy collaboratively. Non-Governmental attendees have the opportunity to engage with officials and Ministers, and to influence policy making.
The minutes of these meetings are made available to all attendees and are public documents available to anyone who requests them. However, it is not considered appropriate to place the minutes of each meeting in Library of the House.
The invite list for these meetings is subject to regular review and attendance varies depending on the availability of those invited and the topics for discussion. At the last meeting of 10 June 2014, 16 public officials attended which included officials from the Home Office, other government departments, law enforcement agencies and the devolved administrations. 20 representatives of non-governmental organisations were invited of whom 15 attended. Separate meetings are held with private sector representatives.
No advisors or experts, paid for by public funds, are ordinarily invited to the stakeholder forum meetings.<\/p>
