Asian Network Reports Special: Britain's Modern Slaves
An update of the day's news you need to hear. Divya Talwar asks whether attempts to curb immigration are creating modern slavery in Britain.
The government has been accused of licensing modern slavery in an attempt to curb immigration. Only foreigners are allowed to bring domestic staff into the UK and every year 15,000 migrants come in this way. Two years ago this week rules came in meaning that domestic workers are tied to one employer once here. The government says it was trying to encourage stronger relationships and discourage abuse - but charities say it has done the opposite. In this Asian Network Reports Special Divya Talwar asks whether attempts to curb immigration are creating modern slavery in Britain.
