Anti-Slavery Laws and Single Parents

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8325158.stm

Liberty and Anti-Slavery International are asking for laws to protect workers, particularly migrant workers from exploitation- effectively slavery. Interesting that one of their suggestions is 'a second offence of forced labour, [punishable by a maximum of seven years in prison.]'

Isn't that what the Government has just imposed on single parents of young children?
