Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what representations they have made to the government of China regarding the reported assaults on Nathan Law, an elected member of the Hong Kong Legislative Council, by pro-Beijing activists.


This question was answered on 19th January 2017

The UK has not raised this issue with the Chinese Government. Under the Sino-British Joint Declaration and the Basic Law, law enforcement is a matter for the Hong Kong authorities. We understand that the Hong Kong Police have made arrests in connection with this incident and are conducting further investigations.
