We await details of the police investigation.

If the police determine there are grounds to charge any officials, we would expect the Chinese consulate to waive immunity for those officials.</p><p>A planning application for a new Chinese Embassy is currently before the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. As the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities has a quasi-judicial role in the planning system, it would not be appropriate to comment on the merits of the proposal, as it could come before Ministers at some point in the future.</p> answering member constituency Berwick-upon-Tweed answering member printed Anne-Marie Trevelyan question first answered 02/11/2022 17:41:35 answering member 4531 label Biography information for Anne-Marie Trevelyan
