Question to the Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, pursuant to the answer of 28 July 2026 to Question HL2133 on International Court of Justice, what guidance his Department has provided on the impact of the International Court of Justice’s ruling on International Labour Organization (ILO) Convention 87 on the practices within the United Kingdom.

The Department has not issued specific guidance in response to the advisory opinion. While the advisory opinion is not legally binding, the government takes the Court’s opinion seriously and is considering the implications carefully.
