Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what action they propose to take if no explanation for the detention of Alexandra Wilson is received from the government of China.
Consular staff in Beijing were informed on 3 November that Ms Wilson was being held for working illegally in China on a “Z” visa. Ms Wilson was detained in accordance with Chinese immigration law. There are no plans to follow up with the Chinese authorities as they have explained the reason for the detention.
