A Chinese Communist Party official who monitors human rights abuses has canceled a visit to the UK.
The MPs urged the government to stop Erkan Tunyas from going to London.
The senior figure is the governor of China’s northwestern province of Xinjiang.
In 2021, MPs approved a non-binding Commons motion calling Uyghur Muslims and other minorities in Xinjiang “victims of crimes against humanity and genocide”.
A Foreign Office spokesman said they understood Mr Toniaz had opted out of the trip.
The government insists it had not invited him and would not have been allowed an audience with any minister.
“The UK government will continue to take every opportunity to take action against China’s unacceptable human rights abuses in Xinjiang,” a Foreign Office spokesman said in a statement.
China has been accused of systematic human rights abuses against the Muslim minority, with hundreds of thousands held in camps.
The United Nations has accused China of “serious human rights violations” and possible crimes against humanity in Xinjiang.
