<p>The Department for International Trade has been taking forward measures to help
make sure British businesses are not complicit in violations of rights and responsibilities
in Xinjiang, as announced in Parliament by the Foreign Secretary on 12<sup>th</sup>
January. This includes a review of export controls as they apply to Xinjiang, to make
sure that we are doing everything that we can to prevent the export of any goods that
could directly or indirectly contribute to any such violations. It includes updating
our Overseas Business Risk guidance too, underlining the specific risks faced by companies
with links to Xinjiang and the challenges of conducting effective due diligence there.</p><p>
</p><p>We continue to advise businesses with supply chain links in Xinjiang to conduct
appropriate due diligence to satisfy themselves that their activities do not support,
or risk being seen to be supporting, any violations of rights or responsibilities.</p><p>
