Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what representations the Prime Minister made in support of peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait during his visit to China in January.

During the Prime Minister's visit to China in January, he underlined the importance of peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait and made clear that the UK's position on Taiwan has not changed and will not change. The Prime Minister considers the Taiwan issue to be settled by people on both sides of the Strait through constructive dialogue, and not through any unilateral attempts to change the status quo.
