Lord Keen of Elie
The Government have always been clear that it is for others to establish such a mechanism. We are aware of a number of organisations that propose to set up a central repository. Indeed, I understand that Unseen and the Business & Human Rights Resources Centre have collaborated to develop a central repository for transparency statements linked to the enhanced Modern Slavery Helpline, to be launched later this year.
Lord Tebbit (Con)
My Lords, have the Government ensured that if they take discriminatory action against such companies, they will not fall foul of any European Union legislation?
Lord Keen of Elie
There is no issue of discrimination arising in these circumstances.
