Deferred
Paragraph: 114
Require Police and Crime Commissioners to prioritise modern slavery in their plans.
Conclusion
All Police and Crime Commissioners should actively consider setting modern slavery and human trafficking as a priority in their police and crime plans.
Government Response Summary
The government's response discusses overall migration levels and work visa grants, noting they are too high, completely deflecting from the recommendation for Police and Crime Commissioners to prioritize modern slavery and human trafficking in their plans.
