Chinese Embassy: Royal Mint

Asked by Kevin HollinrakeConservativeForeign, Commonwealth and Development OfficeTabled Answered 25 November 2025UIN 91404

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, pursuant to the answer of 28 October 2025 to Question 84207 on Embassies, whether the Royal Mint site has that consent.

Answered by Chris Elmore

The current list of China's unconditionally accredited diplomatic premises is published in the London Diplomatic List, available on GOV.UK. The former Royal Mint site received conditional diplomatic consent in 2018, and this remains conditional on securing the necessary planning and listed building consents from the relevant authorities.
