Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, whether the Hong Kong Police Force was called by the Consulate General to the democratic protest outside the UK Hong Kong consulate; and what steps he is taking to ensure the ability for peaceful democratic protest outside that consulate.
We have repeatedly made clear that we support the right to peaceful and lawful protest. It is essential all arrests and police actions are made according to the law and conducted in a fair and transparent manner.
