I covered this story a few weeks ago. Now it looks like Miliband is backtracking:
From The Telegraph:
Britain’s state-owned energy company will not be allowed to use solar panels linked to Chinese slave labour following a Government U-turn, according to reports.
Ed Miliband, the Energy Secretary, will reportedly amend legislation to ensure slavery and human trafficking are not used in the supply chain of GB Energy.
It comes after Labour MPs last month blocked an amendment to the Great British Energy Bill to ensure solar panels used in Britain are free of slave labour.
Which all raises the question just where else he proposes to buy them, given that China absolutely dominates production, particularly of wafers.
The IEA chart below is for 2021, but I doubt if much has changed since:
