Labour (Co-op) — Lothian East

Speaking in the House of Commons on 3 December 2024

Debate

UK Supply Chains: Uyghur Forced Labour

Contribution

Notwithstanding the concerns that have been expressed in the Chamber about the existing statutory framework, we need to send a clear and unequivocal signal that no company in the United Kingdom that operates under the existing statutory framework should have any forced labour whatsoever in its supply chain. There are already rules in place to compel companies to publish statements demonstrating that they have met their very clear legal obligations, not least in relation to the exploitation of which my hon. Friend speaks.
