Chinese Embassy

Luke Evans Excerpts

Tuesday 20th January 2026 Commons Chamber

[Dan Jarvis]

Not at all—I am seeking to explain to her that this Government, like the last Government, manage a range of national security risks. That would be the case whatever decision was taken around this proposal.

[Dr Luke Evans (Hinckley and Bosworth) (Con)]

I am going to ask again: does this make the British public safer—yes or no?

[Dan Jarvis]

Fundamentally, Government are there to make the British people safer. For the reasons that I have explained, I am confident that this is the right decision from a national security perspective.
