There is currently a piecemeal and ad hoc approach to addressing forced labour using domestic policy. This does not prevent goods linked to forced labour being sold in the UK, nor provide clarity for businesses. (Conclusion, Paragraph 31) New legislation is needed to ensure that the UK’s market is protected from goods tainted by forced labour. This should establish: (i) that it is unlawful to import or sell goods linked to forced labour in the UK (ii) new mandatory human rights due diligence duties for businesses, (iii) a right for those who have suffered forced labour to bring a claim for civil liability against those responsible, (iv) the regulatory arrangements for imported goods, sale of goods, and ensuring business compliance with the new due diligence duties (iv) how such regulations will be enforced and how those responsible for enforcement will be resourced The legislation should be introduced within one year of the publication of this report. (Recommendation, Paragraph 31)
