PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
HONG KONG CITIZENS (2 September 2019)

Motion Details

That this House calls on the Government to seek agreement with some of the other 53 Commonwealth countries to provide Hong Kong citizens with a second citizenship and potential place of abode; insists that the UK will not accept the abandonment of the so-called two systems in one country, guaranteed by international treaty and agreed by China; and recognises that Hong Kong's industrious, dynamic, courageous and diverse people must be given a guarantee that they will be able to flourish economically, culturally and socially whilst living under the rule of law.
