Chinese Embassy: Planning Permission
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government whether they intend to make planning permission for a new Chinese embassy dependent upon the government of China making a full disclosure of products entering the UK that contain cotton which is grown in Xinjiang.
- Answer
-
An appointed Inspector will hold a public inquiry which will hear a range of evidence for and against the proposals, after which a decision will be made by MHCLG ministers. As this case will come before ministers in MHCLG to determine, it would not be appropriate to comment further. Decisions on planning applications are based on material planning considerations.
