Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether her Department has had communications with the company Lowick on the proposed new Chinese Embassy.
A final decision on China’s planning application for a new embassy has yet to be made. The Secretary of State for Housing, Communities, and Local Government in her independent, quasi-judicial role will make the final decision in due course.
As such, it would not be appropriate to comment further on the case. The Home Secretary and I have and continue to respect the bounds of this robust quasi-judicial process.
