That this House calls for an early and detailed statement as to the police operational decisions being made to facilitate peaceful protest against human rights abuses within China during the planned state visit of the President of China and an assurance that the President will not be screened, literally or metaphorically, from such protests simply because it would be uncomfortable for him and embarrassing for the Foreign Office.
