Dr Andrew Murrison

Conservative — South West Wiltshire

Speaking in the House of Commons on 19 January 2026

Debate

Proposed Chinese Embassy

Contribution

Will the Government at least concede that if the building goes ahead all the cabling along Mansell Street at the Wapping exchange should, as a condition of any planning permission, be relocated at the applicant’s expense?
