answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/06/2015 answer text <p>The British Government takes seriously the issue of health and safety of construction workers building all infrastructure projects in the Gulf, including Qatar. We expect FIFA to do the same with regard to specific World Cup related projects. British officials promote the importance of local construction projects meeting international safety standards with their Qatari counterparts. The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my hon. Friend the Member for Bournemouth East (Mr Ellwood), raised our concerns about the wider treatment of foreign workers with the Qatari government during bilateral exchanges in Doha on 26 February. The Government welcomes the Qatari government's announcement of a series of measures to improve regulations governing the treatment of workers. We stand ready to support these efforts where we can.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 09/06/2015 12:37:54 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
