MP barred from Hong Kong: Ministers must block Chinese super-embassy

Commenting on the continued lack of explanations for Wera Hobhouse’s deportation from Hong Kong, Calum Miller MP, Liberal Democrat Foreign Affairs Spokesperson, said:

"We’ve still had no answers from Beijing about why a British MP, my colleague Wera, was barred from visiting her newborn grandson in Hong Kong. 

“China wants to take advantage of the UK's openness while refusing entry to British MPs and placing bounties on the heads of democracy campaigners living in the UK.

“Ministers must confirm they’re blocking China’s threatening super-embassy at the heart of London once and for all.”
