China: British Nationals Abroad
Asked by: Chris Law (Scottish National Party - Dundee Central) Monday 4th November 2024 Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, pursuant to the Answer of 25 October 2024 to Question 8831 on China and Hong Kong, what steps he plans to take to ensure that British-born children of British nationals with Hong Kong descent who are exclusively British citizens are not treated as Chinese nationals by the People’s Republic of China; and what steps his Department is taking to safeguard their consular rights and protections under international conventions when travelling to or residing in China. Answered by Catherine West - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) The FCDO provides consular assistance to British nationals abroad. In some cases, British Nationals of Hong Kong or Chinese descent may be considered Chinese by the Chinese authorities meaning the consular assistance we can provide may be limited. As per our nationality guidance, we advise seeking legal advice where appropriate for individual cases. |

China: British Nationals Abroad
Asked by: Chris Law (Scottish National Party - Dundee Central) Monday 21st October 2024 Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether his Department is taking steps to monitor China’s compliance with international consular conventions on the treatment of naturalised British citizens with (a) Hong Kong and (b) Chinese descent. Answered by Catherine West - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) The FCDO's Travel Advice for China explains that China does not recognise dual nationality and anyone born in China to a Chinese national parent would be considered by the Chinese authorities to be of Chinese nationality and treated as a Chinese citizen. China therefore does not grant us consular access to these individuals, preventing our ability to directly monitor China's compliance with relevant conventions in these circumstances. |

Israeli Defence Force: British Nationals Abroad
Asked by: Chris Law (Scottish National Party - Dundee Central) Thursday 24th October 2024 Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what information his Department holds on (a) how many and (b) the identities of UK citizens who have travelled to Israel to volunteer for military service with the (i) Israeli Air Force and (ii) other branches of the Israel Defense Forces in Gaza since 7 October 2023. Answered by Hamish Falconer - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) We are aware of reports of UK citizens travelling to fight for the Israel Defense Force (IDF), but the Government does not estimate the numbers of those who have done so. The UK recognises the right of British nationals with more than one nationality to serve in the legitimately recognised armed forces of their additional nationalities. |
