Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what discussions the Government has had with Qatar's Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy on the safety and wellbeing of migrant workers preparing that country for the 2022 World Cup.

We have raised our concerns about the safety and wellbeing of migrant workers with the Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy at Ministerial and Ambassadorial level. We welcome the serious manner in which the Qatari Government is responding to concerns and fully support Qatar’s intention to reform the current labour law. We are encouraging the government of Qatar to put forward a timetable for passing and implementing the proposed legislation and stand ready to support these efforts where we can.
