Britain on Wednesday said there was credible, growing and troubling evidence of forced labour among Uighur Muslims in China's Xinjiang region.
"Evidence of forced Uighur labour within Xinjiang, and in other parts of China, is credible, it is growing and deeply troubling to the UK government," foreign office minister Nigel Adams told parliament.
He said firms had a duty to ensure their supply chains were free of forced labour.
