Motion text
That this House notes the immediate need for Mandatory Human Rights and Environmental Due Diligence and forced labour bans legislation to support human rights, consumers, businesses, and the environment; further notes that the voluntary framework introduced in the Modern Slavery Act 2015 is now outdated and eclipsed by international standards; also notes that the introduction of similar human rights and environmental due diligence laws by our largest trading partners opens the risk of Britain becoming a dumping ground for goods made with the involvement of human rights and environmental abuses; and believes that this legislation, would support economic growth, promote responsible business conduct, and protect workers and the environment.
