Bid to change slavery law over migrant crisis
RISHI Sunak has been urged by more than 50 Tory MPs to change modern slavery laws with emergency legislation in a bid to reduce small boat crossings of the Channel. The PM was pressed by the group, including former Cabinet ministers, to rapidly implement a “simple” change in the law to help to tackle the issue. They want changes to make it easier for people they believe are “bogus asylum seekers”, who say they are victims of trafficking, to be returned.
