Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether any personnel from the Chinese Armed Forces that have provided training at UK military bases since 2010 have been involved in the recruitment of former UK Armed Forces personnel to train the Chinese Armed Forces.

The Ministry of Defence is not aware of any Chinese military personnel who have provided training at UK military bases since 2010. The recruitment of UK ex-Service pilots that we are aware of has not been conducted directly by Chinese military personnel or by its civil servants, but by a third-party training school.
