Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, if he will make representations to his counterpart in Venezuela on the Government of that country co-operating fully with the Commission of Inquiry launched by the International Labour Organisation on 21 March 2018 in relation to alleged violations of workers' rights in that country.

The UK, together with EU colleagues, supported the decision by the International Labour Organisation's Governing Body decision to appoint a Commission of Inquiry for the Venezuela case. We have no plans to engage with Venezuela further on the issue.
