The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether Hong Kongers with dual nationality of a third country eligible for an ETA, who also have an expired BN(O) passport, will be able to obtain an ETA to enter the UK.

Answered by Mike Tapp

BN(O) passport holders who do not also hold British citizenship are not exempt from UK immigration control in law. They may apply for an ETA using the passport of an ETA-eligible nation.
