I thank the Minister and ask him to confirm that the Government will think carefully before giving the Solar Stewardship Initiative a role in determining the integrity of GBE supply chains. This is in the light of the Solar Stewardship Initiative giving JA Solar a clean bill of health following the sanctioning of that company by the US Government—it will soon be reported that JA Solar is continuing to source from Xinjiang—and on the basis that the SSI has serious questions to answer about its ability to verify human rights standards.
