“This Question relates to the proposals for a new Chinese embassy at Royal Mint Court. It is a decision to be taken by planning Ministers, independent of the rest of government. As I have said before in the House, this Government are committed to the probity of the planning process at all levels, to ensure robust and evidence-based decision-making. Planning Ministers must take decisions following a quasi-judicial process, meaning that they must take decisions fairly, based on evidence and planning rules.
