Recommendation
The Government should introduce an import ban to prevent goods produced using forced labour from entering the UK market. This should establish: (i) how the risk of forced labour in supply chains will be identified; (ii) who is responsible for identifying forced labour risks in supply chains and what is done with this information; (iii) who is responsible for preventing the import of goods likely to be exposed to forced labour and if necessary confiscating goods; (iv) and what resulting processes will follow once goods are confiscated (Recommendation, Paragraph 126)
