Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether the treatment of Joshua Wong and other Hong Kong activists will be taken into account in any further (a) approvals and (b) consents relating to the proposed Chinese Embassy at Royal Mint Court.

The planning decision on the proposed Chinese Embassy at Royal Mint Court was taken independently on 20 January 2026 by the then-Secretary of State for Housing in a quasi-judicial capacity. It is longstanding government policy not to comment on ongoing legal proceedings.
