Recommendation 29

We are concerned that clause 67 NBB, as read with section 4 EUWA, lacks sufficient clarity and accessibility to be compatible with the rule of law and moreover does not allow the Committee to know the extent to which human rights, for example the rights of victims of slavery or human trafficking, might be negatively affected by this clause. We are further concerned that the Government itself is unable to explain what, of the Trafficking Directive, applies in UK law. We encourage the Government to ensure better transparency and clarity in legislating by ensuring the impact of provisions are clear and by providing Memoranda explaining the impacts of provisions where necessary.
