Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what steps she is able to take to uphold the UK's global reputation as a reliable market as a result of UK companies reportedly ignoring contracts with suppliers in developing countries.

The Government is engaging with businesses in the UK and in developing countries to understand the huge challenges they are facing in response to the global Covid-19 pandemic. The UK is also providing support to Business Fights Poverty to accelerate a global learning process to enable businesses to support vulnerable workers in global supply chains.
