A Bill to make provision for the appointment by Parliament of the Independent Anti-slavery Commissioner if the post is vacant for three months or more; and for connected purposes.

This Bill would let Parliament appoint the Independent Anti-slavery Commissioner if the post has been vacant for three months or more, rather than leaving appointment decisions solely to the government. It aims to ensure there is a lead anti-slavery watchdog in place when the usual appointment process is delayed, along with related provisions.
