The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of settlement visa restrictions on Hong Kongers ability to travel.

Answered by Mike Tapp

The Government is committed to supporting members of the Hong Kong community who have relocated to the UK and those who may come here in future.

We will be consulting on the earned settlement scheme later this year. All will be welcome to participate. We will provide details of how the scheme will work after that consultation.
