Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Mary Glindon and Mark Field

Tuesday 14th May 2019 Commons Chamber

[Mark Field]

We are dealing with and speaking about potential extradition implications, not least with our outstanding consul general, Andy Heyn, out there in Hong Kong. The one country, two systems model needs to work well, and it is in China’s interest for that to happen, not least for the reasons she pointed out about the importance of Hong Kong as an international financial capital.

[Mary Glindon (North Tyneside) (Lab)]
