Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office written question – answered on 24th May 2022.
Lord Alton of Liverpool
Crossbench
To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of (1) reports that the government of the USA is considering imposing sanctions on the Chinese company Hikvision, and (2) whether restrictions on Hikvision imposed by that government have any effect on that company’s operations in the UK.
Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)
US sanctions are a matter for the US Government, and it remains our position not to speculate about future sanctions or their potential impact. We continue to make clear our deep concerns about the human rights violations occurring in Xinjiang, including the use of mass surveillance and the technology used to facilitate it.
