Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he has made an assessment of potential security risk for Hong Kong nationals who access counselling services in the UK in Cantonese.

We have not made such an assessment. The Home Office continually assesses potential threats in the United Kingdom, and takes protection of individuals’ rights, freedoms, and safety in the UK very seriously. As you would expect, Home Office officials work closely with other government departments in ensuring that the UK is a safe and welcoming place for those who hold British National (Overseas) status and other Hongkongers.
