Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what recent discussions her Department has had with its Chinese counterparts on the 2022 Winter Olympic Games.
Since the Prime Minister's statement on 8 December, officials have reiterated to Chinese counterparts the announcement that no officials or ministers will represent the UK Government at the Beijing Winter Olympics and the reasons for this. We also engage closely with the Chinese authorities and Beijing Olympic Organising Committee in relation to the management and operation of the games, in support of the British Olympic Association.
