Written Answers
Jimmy Lai Asked by: Lord Alton of Liverpool (Crossbench - Life peer) Tuesday 10th February 2026 Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Chapman of Darlington on 21 January (HL13311), whether they have formally lodged a statement at the United Nations and with China about a breach of the Sino-British Joint Declaration in the case of Jimmy Lai; and if not, whether they intend to do so. Answered by Baroness Chapman of Darlington - Minister of State (Development) Following Beijing's imposition of the National Security Law (NSL) on Hong Kong, the UK declared China to be in a state of ongoing non-compliance with the Joint Declaration. The UK raised concerns about the NSL and Joint Declaration during the 2020 UN Human Rights Council sessions. This government has repeatedly called for China to return to its commitments under the Joint Declaration, for the NSL to be repealed, and for an end to the prosecution of all individuals charged under it, including British national Jimmy Lai.

Answered by Baroness Chapman of Darlington - Minister of State (Development) The Supreme Court decision concerned the definition of a woman in the context of the UK Equality Act 2010.
