Written Question
China: Uyghurs
Tuesday 22nd September 2026

Asked by: Sarah Champion (Labour - Rotherham)

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what assessment his department has made of the UK’s obligations under (a) pillar two and (b) pillar three of the UN Responsibility to Protect framework in relation to the treatment of Uyghurs in Xinjiang.

Answered by Chris Elmore - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)

The UK continues to stand firm on human rights in China, including in Xinjiang, where Uyghurs and other predominantly Muslim communities continue to face persecution and arbitrary detention. We raise our concerns directly at the highest levels, and in international fora such as at the UN Human Rights Council. In a statement on 8 September, the UK's Human Rights Ambassador noted that "China has yet to implement the recommendations of the Office of the High Commissioner's Xinjiang Assessment" and that "evidence of violations in Xinjiang and Tibet persists".

Written Question
Imports: Israel
Tuesday 15th September 2026

Asked by: Sarah Champion (Labour - Rotherham)

Question to the Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, when HM Revenue and Customs last updated the non-eligible postcode list published under the Notice to Importers: imports from Israel into the United Kingdom; and whether that data is shared with the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade and Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government to support labelling enforcement.

Answered by Blair McDougall - Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade) (Jointly with the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)

The non-eligible postcode list was last updated on 22 August 2025 and HMRC work in cooperation with the relevant government departments on enforcement. However, as of 8 September the Foreign Secretary has announced an import ban on goods from Israeli Settlements. This ban will subsume our existing measures and by design is aimed at being disruptive to the economic drivers that help illegal settlements grow. Detailed guidance for businesses on the implications of this will be published alongside the legislation, and we will work closely with colleagues across government on the design and enforcement of these new measures.
