Lord Hanson of Flint (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 22 June 2026

Debate

Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office

Contribution

I am grateful for the question. As I mentioned in my initial replies, to my knowledge, the Foreign Secretary last had contact with the Chinese authorities through the embassy on 8 May, when she made significant representations. It is the role of the Foreign Secretary to make representations in relation to prisoners elsewhere. I will go back to the Foreign Office to inquire whether there has been further contact since 8 May, but that is my understanding of the last contact.
