Labour — Pontefract, Castleford and Knottingley

Speaking in the House of Commons on 15 December 2025

Debate

Jimmy Lai Conviction

Contribution

It is exactly because of that transnational repression—threats to people resident on UK soil, including Hongkongers whom we have welcomed into our communities as a result of the repression they have faced—that we have strengthened the work of the counter-terrorism police and intelligence agencies on targeting state threats. We will continue to do so, because it is immensely important that we support not just residents here, but the freedoms and traditions of the people of Hong Kong.
