Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, pursuant to Question 146333 of 22 May 2018 on whether his Department has held discussions with and received representations from Chinese organisations on opening a campus at Foxcombe hall in Oxfordshire, for what reasons his Department transferred that Question for answer to the Department for International Trade.

The question was transferred to the Department for International Trade because it was interpreted as relating to their role in transnational education.

Neither the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy or the Department for Education have had discussions with or received representations from Peking University HSBC Business School or authorities in China on proposals to open a campus at Foxcombe Hall in Oxfordshire.
