Motion text

That this House recognises the increasing pressures faced by Hong Kong nationals living in the United Kingdom, particularly those who have arrived under the British National (Overseas) visa route; notes with concern the reports of intimidation, surveillance, and community tensions exacerbated by actions of the Chinese state; acknowledges the vital contributions of the Hong Kong community to the UK’s social, cultural, and economic life; further notes that Hong Kongers who have been welcomed to the United Kingdom and chosen to make it their home should not have to pay international university fees; and urges the Government to ensure robust protection of civil liberties, expand integration support services, and ensure the community is supported to live safely on our shores.
