The minister has set out the findings of an investigation into claims of unofficial stations being used to monitor dispersed communities and coerce people to return to China.
Mr Tugendhat said police had visited four locations where the sites where allegedly operating"to consider whether any laws have been broken and whether any further action should be taken".He said no evidence of illegal activity on behalf of the Chinese state had been found - but the stations were set up"without consulting the UK government".
Mr Tugendhat said:"We assess that police and public scrutiny have had a suppressive impact on any administrative functions these sites may have had. "However, these 'police service stations' were established without our permission and their presence, regardless of whatever low level administrative activity they were performing, will have worried and intimidated those who have left China and sought safety and freedom here in the UK. This is unacceptable."
