<aside> 🧾 Government Answer:
I refer the Noble Lord to the answer provided in the House of Commons on 10 March to an identical set of questions (118342-44) from the Hon Member for Milton Keynes Central. For ease of reference, that answer is reproduced below: The National Security Law has stifled opposition and potentially unlawfulised dissent in Hong Kong. We have called for it to be repealed, and for an end to the prosecution of all individuals charged under it. We will not tolerate attempts by foreign governments to intimidate or harm individuals in the UK, and we are committed to protecting the safety of the Hong Kong community who have made their home here. We continue to raise these concerns directly with the Chinese authorities, and the Government has strengthened the legal and operational tools needed to deter, detect and disrupt modern state threats. It is the UK's long-standing policy not to comment on potential sanctions designations, as to do so would risk undermining their impact.
