<p>As my noble friend, the Rt Hon Baroness Anelay of St Johns, confirmed in her reply
to written question HL5120, the British Government is deeply concerned by reports
of forced child labour at the Masikryong ski resort. The UK has been clear that forced
labour is a form of modern day slavery and must be brought to an end. Any decision
on offering to co-host events at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics would be a matter
for the government of the Republic of Korea to consider. However, an application to
co-host Olympic events with another state would require the approval of the International
Olympic Committee.</p>
