The motion

That this House expresses deep concern about the proposed construction of a Chinese mega-Embassy in London; notes with alarm the potential national security risks which would result from the proposed Embassy, including an increased capacity for surveillance by the Chinese Communist Party; acknowledges the grave concerns raised by pro-democracy Chinese and Hong Kong activists about the proposals for a mega-Embassy; calls on the Government to ensure that there is the right to peacefully and safely protest outside the proposed site of the Embassy; further calls on the Government to include all Chinese officials, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region officials and Chinese Communist Party-linked organisations on the enhanced tier of the Foreign Influence Registration Scheme; also calls on the Government to urgently publish its promised UK-China Audit, outlining the threats posed to the UK's values and interests by the Chinese Communist Party; and calls on the Government formally to block the construction of the new mega-Embassy.
