To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of reports in The Times on 23 January that more than 40 British universities “have links to Uyghur Genocide, weapons development, espionage, defence research and hacking”; what estimate they have made of the total annual revenue such collaboration generates; and what steps they are taking to deter universities from partnerships with bodies linked to authoritarian states.

answer text

The Government is aware of the reports in the Times on 23 January concerning British university collaborations with China. British universities are independent of Government and they have no obligation to report their revenues as they arise from overseas collaborations. The Government provides direct support to universities through the Research Collaboration Advice Team, a collaboration set up to help academia manage risks in international collaboration, embed good practice and to ensure that they understand the legislative and regulatory measures that apply. These measures are kept under review and will be strengthened where necessary.
