Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, how many meetings her Department has had with representatives of the People's Republic of China since 12 January 2021; what was discussed at each of those meetings; and if she will make a statement.

Neither Ministerial colleagues nor officials in London have met with the Chinese administration during this time.

Through the UK’s diplomatic missions in China, there is regular engagement with Chinese government counterparts to support UK trade interests.
