Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether action has been taken by British consular officials since the release of Alexandra Wilson to seek an explanation for her detention; if so, what action, and if not, why not.
This question was answered on 19th January 2015
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.
