Written Answers
Foreign Companies: Mining
Asked by: Baroness Coussins (Crossbench - Life peer)
Wednesday 18th June 2025

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to support mining companies headquartered or incorporated in the UK in complying with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, in the light of reports of human rights abuses resulting from the mining of key minerals.

Answered by Lord Collins of Highbury - Lord in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip)

The UK supports voluntary human rights due diligence by UK businesses across their operations and supply relationships, in line with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Guidelines on Multinational Enterprises. In mineral supply chains, the Government supports the OECD's Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Mineral Supply Chains which promotes responsible operation in conflict-affected and high-risk areas. The UK is Chair of the multi-stakeholder Voluntary Principles Initiative on Security and Human Rights that guides companies on security operations while respecting human rights. Several UK headquartered and incorporated mining companies are members of the initiative.

The UK's new Critical Minerals Strategy will help secure the supply of critical minerals vital for the UK's economic growth and clean energy transition whilst promoting responsible and transparent supply chains.

Global Tailings Management Institute
Asked by: Baroness Coussins (Crossbench - Life peer)
Wednesday 18th June 2025

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to support the work of the Global Tailings Management Institute.

Answered by Lord Collins of Highbury - Lord in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip)

The UK strongly welcomed the launch of the Global Tailings Management Institute in Johannesburg earlier this year. The Global Tailings Management Institute was established by the International Council on Mining and Metals, the United Nations Environment Programme and the UN-backed Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) in 2019 to make mine tailings facilities safer. We are considering how best to support the Institute as part of our international approach under the new strategy.

Foreign Companies: Mining
Asked by: Baroness Coussins (Crossbench - Life peer)
Wednesday 18th June 2025

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking, including through their embassies, to support environmental defenders, human rights defenders and indigenous communities who are at risk of violence due to their opposition to mining operations by companies headquartered or incorporated in the UK.

Answered by Lord Collins of Highbury - Lord in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip)

The UK recognises the essential role that civil society and human rights defenders play in promoting and protecting human rights, democracy, and the rule of law. Our Embassies and Missions support those at risk, including by monitoring cases, observing trials and raising issues with host governments. We encourage delivery partners to incorporate lived experience into programme design and delivery in an ethical and meaningful way. The UK government works to promote responsible business practices and greater value-addition in developing countries' critical minerals supply chains through several ODA-funded initiatives working with governments, investors and civil society, including support to the Extractives Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) and Natural Resource Governance Institute (NRGI).

Mining: Public Consultation
Asked by: Baroness Coussins (Crossbench - Life peer)
Monday 16th June 2025

Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to ensure consultation of civil society stakeholders who may be affected by proposed mining operations in the review of the UK Critical Minerals Strategy.

Answered by Baroness Jones of Whitchurch

The Department for Business and Trade will publish a Critical Minerals Strategy this year that will refine our approach to promoting responsible and transparent practices in critical mineral supply chains, both across the UK and globally. We are engaging a range of stakeholders to gather expertise and insights to shape our approach, including civil society, standards-setting organisations and other key environmental, social and governance (ESG) stakeholders to inform our approach to the strategy.

Trade Agreements: Colombia
Asked by: Baroness Coussins (Crossbench - Life peer)
Wednesday 17th September 2025

Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether their assessment of the Investor-State Dispute Settlement in the Colombia-UK Bilateral Investment Agreement has changed in the light of the legal challenge from investors in the Whitehaven Mine in Cumbria, and if so, how.

Answered by Lord Leong - Lord in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip)

The UK-Colombia Bilateral Investment Treaty (BIT) includes binding investment protection provisions which protect both UK and Colombian investors against unfair and discriminatory treatment, and expropriation without adequate compensation.

The Government maintains that it has acted consistently with domestic and international law obligations in the case of the legal challenge. In view of the ongoing proceedings, it would be inappropriate for the Government to comment further at this stage.
