# UK Government Proposes Modern Slavery Reporting Rules

The UK Government says it will advance changes to modern-slavery supply-chain reporting through the Immigration and Asylum Bill. The proposed changes could extend reporting duties to public-sector organisations and impose fines of up to £1 million or 1% of turnover or budget, whichever is higher. A broader due-diligence regime and a forced-labour import ban remain undecided, so the scope of future obligations is not yet settled.

- UK public bodies and their suppliers may need stronger supply-chain risk reviews, reporting controls, and evidence that identified risks have been addressed.
- Contractors serving public-sector buyers should assess whether their current supplier records and remediation documentation can support expanded reporting duties if the bill proceeds.
- No implementation deadline is specified in the signal; the wider due-diligence regime and import ban are not confirmed.
