Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether he has had discussions with the Secretary of State for the Home Department on police knowledge of potential difficulties faced people from Hong Kong living in the UK.

Ministers from the FCDO and Home Office speak regularly on a range of issues. Officials from the FCDO, Home Office and other government departments are working closely to ensure that the UK is a safe and welcoming place for Hong Kongers that choose to settle here on the bespoke British Nationals (Overseas) route. That includes the delivery of the next phase of the Welcome Programme, which provides tailored support and guidance to our valued Hong Kong community. As with other UK communities, the safety of Hong Kongers choosing to settle in the UK is paramount.
