Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking against any Chinese diplomats involved in alleged violence against protestors at the Chinese Consulate grounds on 16 October.

As part of an independent investigation, the Police requested that the FCDO approach the Chinese Government to waive the immunity of the Chinese Consul General and five of his staff to allow for interviews. Following our request, the Chinese Embassy notified us that they had removed the Consul General from the UK. The other five officials have also left the UK. It is right that those responsible for the disgraceful scenes in Manchester are no longer accredited to the UK.
