The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if he will publish the letter sent to the Rule 6 participants on 16 October 2025 announcing the delay in the target date for the Chinese Embassy decision.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook

We do not routinely publish correspondence to parties on live cases. Letters to the Rule 6 participants will be listed in the final decision letter, and will be available on request when the decision is published.
