Great British Energy BillContribution
Is 2025 Xinjiang so very different? The PRC has placed millions of citizens from the Uighur region into what it calls “surplus labour” and “labour transfer” programmes. In one recent year, more than 3 million people were transferred and conscripted on to work programmes in factories and farms. I will not repeat what I said in Committee and at Second Reading at some length, but I urge noble Lords to go back and look at the record if they want to see the scale and the links that I am referring to.
