The Government are deeply committed to supporting members of the Hong Kong community who have relocated to the UK, reflecting the UK's historic and moral responsibility for and commitment to the people of Hong Kong. Since the launch of the BNO visa route in 2021, over 209,000 people have been granted a BNO visa, with more than 150,000 arriving in the UK. The standard immigration rules on criminality and adverse behaviours apply to applications through the BNO route but are assessed flexibly to avoid automatic refusal of applications due to politically motivated or trumped-up charges. There is £1 million funding for voluntary and community sector organisations to deliver projects focused on employability and mental health wellbeing, with initiatives like The Growth Company's Jobs for Hongkongers programme and local schemes addressing employment challenges. International fees are a concern but the majority of BNO status holders will qualify for home fee status and student finance once they have obtained settlement in the UK, subject to meeting eligibility requirements. Regarding the Mandatory Provident Fund, the issue of £3 billion funds being frozen is under review with the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office raising concerns directly with the Hong Kong Government and the MPF Schemes Authority. On security, attempts by foreign Governments to coerce, intimidate or harm critics overseas are unacceptable, and UK's capability to understand and respond to China's challenges through an audit of the relationship. The National Security Act 2023 provides new powers for law enforcement to protect from modern state threats, including transnational repression with a clear definition needed. There are no plans to shut down the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office, and Jimmy Lai's case is prioritised with UK diplomats attending his court proceedings regularly.
