The Bishop of St Albans asked a question on the ability of British Nationals (Overseas) to leave the territory of Hong Kong on 19th April 2021, during a discussion on pro-democracy campaigns in Hong Kong:
The Lord Bishop of St Albans [V]: Will the Minister tell us what assessment the Government have made of the ability of BNO applicants to safely leave the territory, after it has emerged that the Government of Hong Kong have asked some foreign Governments not to accept BNO for working holiday visas in Europe, North America and parts of Asia?
Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon (Con, Foreign Office): My Lords, I assure the right reverend Prelate that we are looking very closely at the operation of the BNO scheme. No apparent issues have arisen. Many BNO holders also have dual passports so their ability to travel is not limited. We continue to monitor the scheme very closely.
