<p>The UK government remains committed to tackling the heinous crime of modern slavery
and supporting victims. The Illegal Migration Bill will prevent people who come to
the UK through illegal and dangerous journeys from accessing the provisions of the
National Referral Mechanism.</p><p>It is right that the government takes steps to
address the threat to public order posed by individuals making dangerous journeys
that cause loss of life and are inherently unsafe, both for themselves and First Responders.</p><p>We
support thousands of victims each year and will continue to do so following the implementation
of the Illegal Migration Bill.</p><p>We are working on developing guidance regarding
the operation of these measures, including any potential impacts and how they relate
to victims of Modern Slavery, to be introduced when it is appropriate to do so once
the Illegal Migration Bill has progressed through Parliament.</p>
