'In response to our request the Chinese government have now removed from the UK those officials, including the consul general himself. This demonstrates our adherence to the rule of law,' Cleverly said on Wednesday.

Consular staff attacked a group of pro-democracy demonstrators in mid-October after they attempted to take down a banner taunting Chinese president Xi Jinping. One of the protesters emerged badly bruised after he was dragged into the compound and beaten.
