Asked by Helen MaguireLiberal DemocratHome OfficeTabled Answered 9 June 2025UIN 56502

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether her Department (a) has consulted and (b) plans to consult with members of the Hong Kong community living in the UK on the Transnational Repression review.

Answered by Dan Jarvis

The TNR Review engaged with civil society organisations on behalf of communities they consider to be at risk of TNR, as well as with victims of TNR, community leaders and academics. Further engagement, including with victims of TNR and civil society organisations is planned.

More broadly, the UK Government meets regularly with and maintains good relationships with civil society organisations including those advocating on TNR on behalf of communities they consider to be at risk.
