Baroness Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 24 April 2025

Debate

Government Supply Chains: Cotton

Contribution

The noble Lord makes an excellent point on how we do it. It is about making sure that modern-day slavery is part of every conversation that is had when we discuss trade deals. I checked to make sure where my clothes came from before I came here today to make sure I was wearing clothes that came from areas that are not subject to modern slavery. Although I was genuinely worried about China, there were other countries on the safety list that I also needed to check. For the record, my clothes are from Turkey and Indonesia—I am fine.
