Written Question
China: Falun Gong
Monday 23rd March 2020

Asked by: Lord Bishop of Carlisle (Bishops - Bishops)

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government why the government of China's persecution of Falun Gong practitioners has not been referenced in relation to their proposals for a new Magnitsky-style sanctions regime.

Answered by Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon - Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)

We have announced our intention to establish a UK autonomous Global Human Rights ('Magnitsky-style') sanctions regime. It would be inappropriate to comment on potential designations before the regulations come into force.
