Commissioner role was vacant for 18 months and is now set to be filled by former Boris Johnson adviser
Labour has accused Suella Braverman of employing an inexperienced “Conservative patsy” as the UK’s independent antislavery watchdog after 18 months during which the statutory role remained unfilled.
Eleanor Lyons, who was a special adviser to Boris Johnson, will take the role of antislavery commissioner in December, the home secretary announced on Wednesday.
