Diana Johnson – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Attorney General

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Diana Johnson on 2016-10-14.

To ask the Attorney General, on how many occasions since the passage of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 have adult victims (a) applied for and (b) been granted the statutory defence for crimes they were compelled to commit while being enslaved or trafficked.

Robert Buckland

CPS do not have a central record of cases where the statutory defence has been applied, as it could arise in any category of offences.
