Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether he has made an assessment of steel supply chain exposure to Uyghur forced labour in the production of wind turbines.

The Government is committed to tackling the issue of forced labour in supply chains and is taking robust action. Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 places a requirement on businesses with a turnover of £36m or more to publish an annual modern slavery statement, setting out the steps they have taken to prevent modern slavery in their operations and supply chain.
