Proceeding contribution from Warinder Juss (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 18 June 2026. It occurred during Backbench debate on Human Rights: Supply Chains.

Human Rights: Supply Chains

I am grateful to my hon. Friend for securing the debate. As a long-time trade unionist, I am proud of the work this Government have done to secure employment rights in our country, but last year the International Trade Union Confederation global rights index found that more than 80% of countries restricted the right to collective bargaining, and 75% denied the right to establish or join a trade union. Does my hon. Friend agree that our duty is to promote human and labour rights wherever we can and to regulate our global supply chains so that workers across the world can enjoy the protections we have?
