The Telegraph: Labour MPs block ban on Chinese solar panels ‘made by slaves’
Labour MPs have voted against an amendment that would ban the UK government from purchasing solar panels linked to modern slavery. This decision raises concerns about the sourcing of solar panels from China, where forced labor is suspected in the production process.
The amendment aimed to prevent GB Energy, the new publicly owned energy company, from acquiring products made under questionable labor conditions. With China supplying 80% of the global solar panel market, including significant production from the Xinjiang region, the potential for human rights abuses remains a critical issue.
