Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what recent assessment he has made of the implications for his policies of the political and human rights situation in Hong Kong.

The imposition of National Security Law and actions by the authorities in Hong Kong have eroded the civil and political rights promised to Hong Kongers under the Sino-British Joint Declaration.

We are clear that China remains in an ongoing state of non-compliance with the Declaration. As the Foreign Secretary has said, we will act when China breaks its obligations, as we did in giving nearly 3 million Hong Kongers a path to British citizenship.
