Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether the proposed legislation to introduce a register of lobbyists working on behalf of hostile states will include individuals who work on behalf of the government of Hong Kong.

The Government recently consulted on a range of legislative proposals to counter state threats to ensure our security services and law enforcement agencies continue to have the tools they need to effectively tackle state threats.

The Home Office is reviewing and considering all responses to the public consultation and will bring forward legislation as soon as parliamentary time allows.
