Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, if she will support an investigation into how many migrant workers have died as a result of the construction of football stadiums in preparation for the Qatar World Cup 2022.
We welcome the steps Qatar has taken to date on workers' rights. The priority now is fully implementing such reforms.
The International Labour Organization has this month released a comprehensive report containing recommendations for improving data collection and analysis on occupational injuries. We continue to engage regularly with the International Labour Organization office in Doha.
