Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if her Department will make it its policy to issue travel documents to children born in the UK to parents from Hong Kong on the British National (Overseas) visa so that those families are not required to enter Chinese consulate grounds.

The Home Office does not have plans to issue travel documents to children of parents on the Hong Kong British National (Overseas) route.

Individuals arriving in the UK must produce a valid passport with a photograph or some other document, which satisfactorily establishes their identity and nationality, if required to do so by a Border Force officer. Individuals who wish to travel outside the UK will need to comply with the entry requirements of the country they wish to enter, which may require a valid travel document to establish their identity and nationality.

It remains the case that those who hold a HKSAR passport and wish to travel to and from the UK will need to renew that passport or arrange for alternative documentation. The UK cannot assist with the renewal of passports of other nationalities.
