Embassy of China: Proposed New Site

Debate between Lord Sahota and Baroness Chapman of Darlington

Wednesday 29th January 2025 Lords Chamber

[Lord Sahota (Lab)]

My Lords, it is a well-known fact that foreign embassies’ workers do not pay their parking fines. Are all the Chinese diplomats paying their fines in London?

[Baroness Chapman of Darlington (Lab)]

This is a long-standing issue. I remember seeing the noble Lord, Lord Ahmad, do 10 minutes on this very topic, during which he said not very much at all. We know that it is an issue and we raise it as appropriate. I expect that we will continue to raise it in the months to come.
