Hong Kong: Political Prisoners

Lord Carlile of Berriew Excerpts

Tuesday 22nd February 2022 Lords Chamber

[The Earl of Courtown (Con)]

My Lords, I cannot predict what will happen in legislation in the future, but I am sure the noble Lord will be made aware in due course. The noble Lord also asked about people travelling from Hong Kong. They are able to travel under the Hong Kong SAR passport.

[Lord Carlile of Berriew (CB)]

My Lords, given that it is now palpably clear that human rights are under severe attack in Hong Kong, how much longer does the review of UK judges’ position have to take before they are firmly advised to play no further part in the Hong Kong judicial system?
