Visas: Sponsorship
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will make an assessment of the potential implications for the Modern Slavery Act 2015 of the employer sponsorship model.
Answered by Seema Malhotra
A key objective of the sponsorship system is to ensure that migrant workers are protected against modern slavery and other labour abuses. All sponsors are required to comply with wider UK law, including the Modern Slavery Act, and the Home Office can, and does, take firm action against those who fail to do so.
