<p>The Foreign Secretary, my Rt Hon. Friend the Member for Uxbridge and South Ruislip
(Mr Johnson), last spoke to Qatar's foreign minister on 7 September about preparations
for the World Cup. He offered continued UK support in partnering with Qatar to deliver
a successful event in 2022. We continue to raise the issue of workers' rights with
the Government of Qatar; most recently on 15 September to offer UK expertise in addition
to support we already give. I am meeting my Qatari counterpart in Doha later this
year and will raise this issue again then.</p><p>We support the steps that the Qatari
Government has taken to respond to concerns about the treatment of migrant workers
and we welcome the Government of Qatar's commitment to the ongoing, systematic reform
of Qatar's labour laws.</p>
