Speaking in the House of Commons on 23 February 2026

Debate

Industry and Exports (Financial Assistance) Bill

Contribution

UKEF has also supported China Southern Airlines, an organisation affiliated with involuntary labour transfers and “poverty alleviation”—which, of course, is a complete sham—campaigns in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. Successive Governments have acknowledged that “poverty alleviation” is a euphemism for involuntary state-imposed labour. We know that. There is no question about what is going on behind these ridiculous euphemisms. We should therefore be ensuring that such things do not happen, but they have happened.
