ILO Protocol of 2014 to the Forced Labour Convention, 1930

On 9 December 2015, Owen Tudor of the TUC and Neil Carberry of the CBI wrote to DWP Minister Priti Patel urging the government to ratify the ILO Forced Labour Protocol agreed at the International Labour Conference in 2014. On 22 January 2016, the UK Government became only the third government globally to ratify the Protocol, which will come into effect in November, when Home Office Minister Karen Bradley MP took part in a signing ceremony with ILO Director General Guy Ryder, and CBI and TUC representatives.

The joint CBI/TUC letter is attached.
