Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they plan to review the status and privileges granted to the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in London in the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office Act 1996.

The Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office Act 1996 provides the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office with certain privileges and immunities in line with the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations for the purposes of furthering economic and trade interests. We currently have no plans to replace this legislation.
