Chinese sanctions against British MPs and peers have been lifted following Sir Keir Starmer’s talks with Xi Jinping – but the group of parliamentarians affected warned they should not be used as a “bargaining chip” in talks with Beijing.

The lifting of the restrictions, which included a ban on travel to China, was promised by the Chinese president in his talks with the Prime Minister.
