To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what representations he has made to (a) Chinese and (b) Hong Kong authorities on the detention of Andy Li; and what assessment he has made of reports that Andy Li is being held in solitary confinement without access to his family or lawyers.
