This question was answered on 14th December 2022
Neither I, nor my Rt. Hon. Friend the Secretary of State have recently had discussions with British retailers regarding working conditions in the garment industry. I have, however, met with the Director of Labour Market Enforcement who I know is looking at some of these issues as part of her broader remit. I have asked her to keep me updated on this work.
