Just to be clear, I have checked with the Home Office and a spokesman tells me my original tweet was correct - offer would be open to all BN(O)s whether or not they currently hold valid BN(O) passport. It would not (at this stage) be open to HKers who do not have BN(O) status.
Update on new rules for Hongkongers seeking to live/work in UK: Home Office appears to confirm that if China presses on with security law, *all* 2.9m 'British nationals (overseas)' in Hong Kong will be allowed to come to UK whether or not they *currently* hold a BN(O) passport.
‼️ALL BNOs WELCOME IN UK
‼️ INCLUDING DEPENDENTS
‼️DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE BNO PASSPORTS
😭😭😭 so happy and relieved!!
Thank you @DominicRaab@pritipatel#StandwithHongKong
China's proposed national security law for Hong Kong is in direct conflict with its obligations under the Joint Declaration. If enacted, this law would violate Hong Kong’s autonomy and freedoms. UK and 🇺🇸🇦🇺🇨🇦 are deeply concerned.
