Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, with reference to the policy paper entitled UK–China memorandum of understanding, 2025, published on 27 February 2026, for what reason the agreement signed in March 2025 was published in February 2026.

Non-legally binding partnerships and Memoranda of Understanding are not routinely published. The 2025 UK-China Energy MoU and Climate MoU were published earlier this year, noting increased public interest in the agreements and misinformation regarding their content.
