What assessment has she made of the level of threat China poses to UK interests? In her former role, the Foreign Secretary wrote to the Planning Inspectorate raising no objections to the Chinese super-embassy application. She did not mention any concerns about secret basements or proximity to key data cables in London. Does she now regret this previous lack of action?

When it comes to UK’s relations with China, it is not a simple binary choice between national security and growth—national security must always be our non-negotiable red line—but subject to that, does the Foreign Secretary agree that when there are specific sectors where economic engagement with China promotes growth, we should be open to that?

Speaking of challenging China, will the Foreign Secretary comment on recent threats made by the Chinese Government towards Britain over the embassy application, the spy case and Taiwan? Has China requested that the spy case be dropped, and will she now apologise for backing the embassy application?
