Seema Malhotra

Labour (Co-op) — Feltham and Heston

Speaking in the House of Commons on 2 December 2025

Debate

Modern Slavery: Global Supply Chains

Contribution

My hon. Friend is right to raise that issue. We are clear that no company in the UK should have forced labour in its supply chain. We work with our partners to promote the role that new technologies can play in reducing forced labour risks in supply chains. That includes developing an interactive tool to identify child labour risks in agricultural commodity supply chains, using satellite data to improve working conditions in south Asia’s brick industry, and creating AI-powered chatbots that can provide vulnerable workers with rights-based guidance.
