Thank you. The Welsh Government's anti-slavery co-ordinator has stated that raising awareness of modern slavery is key to tackling the issue. What do the latest figures on the number of cases reported tell us about the scale of the problem and the awareness of members of the public in recognising slavery and also in more victims coming forward? As we know, modern slavery does increasingly exist in our society both hidden and in plain sight, sometimes in mundane establishments such as nail bars and car washes, but equally in agriculture, catering, hotel trades and caring professions, and, of course, prostitution.
