Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps she plans to take to examine the report of UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet's visit to China.

We have always been clear the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights must be granted full, unfettered access to Xinjiang and allowed to conduct an accurate assessment of the facts on the ground. We continue to urge China to grant the High Commissioner such access on her ongoing visit, which we are following closely. As the Foreign Secretary made clear in her statement of 24 May, if such access is not forthcoming, the visit will only serve to highlight China's attempts to hide the truth of its actions in Xinjiang. We look forward to the High Commissioner's promised report on the situation in Xinjiang, which we will study carefully. We will continue to act with our international partners to increase the pressure on China to change its behaviour.
