Repatriation: China

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to the Intelligence and Security Committee Report on China, HC 1605, published 13 July 2023, what information her Department holds on (a) the number of coerced repatriations made by foreign states of their nationals from the UK in each of the last three years and (b) which states are known to have conducted repatriations of UK residents through coerced means.

Answer

We continually assess potential threats in the UK, and take protection of individuals’ rights, freedoms, and safety in the UK very seriously.

Whilst it is our long-standing policy not to provide detailed information on security and intelligence matters, where we identify individuals at heightened risk, we are front footed in deploying protective security guidance and other measures as appropriate.

Any threats made by a foreign state against individuals in the UK will be thoroughly investigated.
