Britain’s risk for forcible labor goods is ‘dumping ground’, MPs warned

From ‘Italian’ tomato puree to solar panels, Britain’s risks become “a”dumping ground“For goods made with sugar forced Labour, ParliamentHuman Rights Watchdog has warned.

Products are associated with forced labor in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, where thousands are designed to do Threats and guardsThese goods then enter UK supermarkets and energy firms.

The new report, the Joint Committee of Parliament on Human Rights (JCR), found that the modern slavery act 2015, the major outline controlling labor, is actually no “applied law” to prevent products entering the UK market.

Unlike Westminster, there are strong laws to implement restrictions on forced labor in major markets such as the European Union and the United States. This means that the goods are more likely to enter the UK.

“We are now the weakest preserved in Europe, the leader of the former Conservative Party and the current co-chairman of the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance.” China (IPAC) Sir Ian Duncan Smith told Independent“People like Ed Milliband [Energy and Net Zero Secretary] Desperate for cheap products and they do not want to slow down or inaccessible it. ,

“It is your frustration to get the product that you don’t care what else you are going to attract.”

The European Union takes an increased diligence approach, and America takes a hardcore approach where parts or goods in Shinjiang are made with forced labor until otherwise proven.

The cross-party group asked ministers to apply the hard work and punishment necessary to establish legal duty rather than the existing “voluntary approach”.

He said Government It is required to determine who is responsible for preventing the import of tainted goods and what happens if they are seized.

The report stated, “Lack of UK equivalent law is a risk of becoming a dumping ground for goods that cannot be sold anywhere else,” the report states in the report.

But experts have warned that even though the ministers put them in place, there is no guarantee of proper hard work.

Ivan Fauler of IPAC said, “The ability of UK companies is actually existential for proper hard work and the police, which is why you are looking at this view in America.” Independent.

“Not only Beijing has stopped publishing the data, which was previously used by researchers, which was used to create a picture of what is happening, but forcibly expanded the labor program,” Mr. Fouler said, referring to a plan, referring to a plan, which takes tens of people from Xinjiang to work in eastern factories.

After an investigation by the BBC, it has been reported that 17 tomato products sold in the UK supermarket were made from grown tomatoes and were selected with forcible labor in the Zinjiang Fields. Supermarket selected the findings.

About one -third of tomatoes of the world are grown in China and Shinjiang is the perfect climate for them.

JCHR said, “Cargo flights are allowed to bring goods directly from the capital of Xinjiang to Britain.”

Concerns have also been raised on the base materials used to import solar panels to the UK – metalgical grade silicone (MGS) and polysilicon.

According to 2023 reports on Uingur region and solar panels, Xinjiang is responsible for around 35 percent of the world’s polysilicon and 32 percent of the world’s MGS.

In April, the government passed an amendment to the Great British Energy Bill for banning labor in its supply chains – which criticized for proper hard work or lack of punishment.

It was also criticized for not covering private solar farms, which are eligible for liberal state subsidy through contracts for differences.

“The government seems to be a closed eye to slave labor,” Sir Ian told Independent.

However, tracing products back to their real origin is often complicated by lack of transparency from producers.

Firms often divide their supply between countries to claim that tainted products go elsewhere or do not choose to disclose where the parts were sour.

Some components that ask where the solar panels are sour, are incorrectly told that they are made in Germany, Sir Ian told Independent.

“Well, they are not built in Germany. It’s just that the company is producing them, they have a medium person. So where they came from. They never declare that they came from China.”

Experts say that China has also framed rapidly due to hard work of national security.

Andrew Yeh, Executive Director of the China Strategic Risk Institute, said, “China is expanding the scope of what this national security believes when it is sensitive, when it comes to proper hard work.” Independent.

“So whoever is trying to find out which companies are involved or whether their supply chains are connected, potentially crossing the red lines of the Chinese government when it comes when it thinks and defines national security.”

The government of Sir Kir Stmper has demanded a balanced renovation of relations with Beijing in search of development in Britain in search of national security affairs amidst concerns about Chinese intervention and human rights concerns.

China has denied the allegations that it is forcibly under the labor of the Uyghur minority.
