The Foreign Secretary has announced that if China follows through with its proposed legislation, we will put in place new arrangements to allow BN(O)s to come to the UK without the current six-month limit, enabling them to live and apply to study and work for extendable periods of 12 months, thereby also providing a pathway to citizenship.

Further details will be announced in due course.
