The Modern Slavery Act has become one of the “biggest loopholes” for illegal migrants to avoid deportation, a former immigration minister has told the Telegraph. The paper says Chris Philp, who served between 2019 and 2021, claimed human rights lawyers were exploiting the legislation to keep “illegal migrants and foreign murderers and rapists in the UK”. The paper quotes a Home Office source saying Home Secretary Priti Patel will review the act in a bid to end low thresholds on proof and to limit the number of claims.
