Written Question
British Nationals Abroad: Hong Kong
Thursday 19th May 2022

Asked by: Robert Jenrick (Conservative - Newark)

Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, if his Department will take steps to ensure that Government funding of Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise groups assisting with the integration of British National (Overseas) arrivals is not allocated to any organisation which has endorsed the National Security Law in Hong Kong.

Answered by Kemi Badenoch - Leader of HM Official Opposition

The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) assesses the appropriateness and suitability of all potential grant funding recipients, and their ability to deliver the support required as part of HMG’s BN(O) Welcome Programme. This Programme reflects the UK’s historic and moral commitment to the people of Hong Kong who chose to retain their ties to the UK by taking up BN(O) status at the point of Hong Kong’s handover to China in 1997.

In deciding whether to make a grant award to any organisation through the Hong Kong BN(O) Welcome Programme, a robust due diligence process is undertaken.

Holocaust Memorial Day

"I will, and I thought the images of those survivors and their families with the Prince of Wales—just yesterday, I believe—seeing the unveiling of their portraits at the Royal Gallery was extremely moving.

Those are some of the reasons why, as Secretary of State, I worked to gain approval for …..."

Holocaust Memorial Day

"I certainly do and the hon. Gentleman makes the point very powerfully. The way we remember is changing. For example, Dov, the great-grandson of Lily, whom I met in Victoria Gardens, is now using his 1.3 million TikTok followers to educate the next generation with her stories. I strongly encourage …..."

"The hon. Lady makes her point eloquently, and of course I agree entirely.

Some of us here have been on the receiving end of antisemitism—I know the right hon. Member for Barking has on many occasions. I recently received a letter telling me to teach my “Jewish Zionist wife” to …..."

Building Safety

"I welcome these further measures to provide critical support to leaseholders and to restore a greater degree of confidence to the housing market.
