British Nationality (Hong Kong) Bill (EDM464)

British Nationality (Hong Kong) Bill

EDM number 464 in 1996-97, proposed by Patrick Cormack on 29/01/1997.

That this House welcomes the passage of the British Nationality (Hong Kong) Bill through the House of Lords; and urges Her Majesty's Government to ensure the speedy completion of its remaining stages so that approximately 5000 ethnic minority non-Chinese living in Hong Kong can apply for British citizenship and the right of abode in the United Kingdom as a recognition of their contribution to the life of Hong Kong and their loyalty to the Crown, and in order to give them the same degree of security as those who have either full British citizenship or Chinese nationality.

This motion has been signed by a total of 29 MPs.
