Question to the Department for International Trade:
What recent discussions she has had with UK trade partners on maintaining International Labour Organisation standards in future trade agreements.
While the detail of free trade agreements is reserved for formal negotiations, we have committed in our public mandates to protect our labour standards as the British people would expect. These include health and safety, minimum wages and action on modern slavery. We will continue to uphold Britain’s high standards and remain an active member of the International Labour Organisation.
