To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Indo-Pacific) made representations on the non-recognition of the BNO passport by (a) China and (b) Hong Kong during her recent visit to Hong Kong.
I visited Hong Kong in November for a two-day programme of engagements. I met with stakeholders across the Hong Kong Government, the business community and public to discuss areas of co-operation and challenge on areas of contention.
