MPs could axe clause in bill banning forced labour in GB Energy supply chain

Measures blocking companies involved in modern slavery from receiving public money could be overturned

Measures that would have blocked companies found to have used forced labour in any part of the state-owned Great British Energy supply chain from receiving public money could be overturned this week.

Labour MPs are being whipped on Tuesday to throw out the clause that was inserted into the energy bill in the House of Lords in February.
