Asked by Mike WoodConservativeCabinet OfficeTabled Answered 28 October 2025UIN 83789

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether the (a) National Security Adviser or (b) his Deputies have discussed the Chinese Embassy with the Chinese Government.

Answered by Dan Jarvis

The government has a clear and consistent policy not to comment on any of the NSA’s, or his deputies’, meetings with external parties, for obvious reasons to protect sensitive information pertaining to this country’s national security. This has been the case under successive governments.
