London: UK Leader of the House of Commons Jacob Rees-Mogg has confirmed that no tickets have been booked for UK government ministers to attend the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. The announcement was made in response to a question from Sir Iain Duncan Smith MP, co-chair of the cross-party InterParliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC), on whether the UK government
would announce a diplomatic boycott of the Beijing Winter Olympics.
The announcement follows growing international momentum behind a diplomatic boycott of the Games, with the Biden Administration reportedly set to announce that no US government officials will be attending the Games.
