17. We share the Committee’s focus on the importance of a strategy to guide work tackling this crime. As set out in the introduction, the UK’s response to modern slavery is underpinned by the Modern Slavery Strategy 2014 as well as the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and subsequent legislation. 18. This year the Government will resume publication of an Annual Report on Modern Slavery to set out our strategic approach to tackling modern slavery, and ensure the work being done to tackle this crime is shared and monitored. We will continue to work closely with stakeholders to inform our approach to tackling all forms of exploitation, including through Modern Slavery Engagement Forums (MSEFs). The Government will also consider delivering a new modern slavery strategy.
