Prime Minister, do you agree with the 2021 House of Commons vote that China's persecution

of Uyghurs is a genocide?

Look, there are fundamental issues in terms of China's treatment of the Uyghurs in the

past, and they've been rightly called out.

Do you agree that it's ongoing?

That it's ongoing.

There are serious issues that remain, which is why I've raised human rights issues with

my Chinese counterparts in our engagement, and it's why it's essential in our dealings

with China and commercial dealings with China that we have transparency in terms of where

goods come from, the treatment of those workers, and that they fully meet our standards in

terms of child labour, slave labour, human rights.
