Speaking in the House of Lords on 11 February 2025

Debate

Great British Energy Bill

Contribution

Last month, I sent the Minister a report by Ignites Asia which identifies funds run by global managers who had at least £1.4 billion linked to 14 solar and EV companies using slave labour in Xinjiang. I am told that we should rely on the Solar Taskforce to determine whether this is happening, but it is not mandated to exclude suppliers or companies credibly linked to forced labour, nor does it have a statutory basis for that purpose.
