Proceeding contribution from Tim Loughton (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 23 January 2024. It occurred during Debate on Human Rights in Hong Kong.


Human Rights in Hong Kong

I waived my right to reply, but will the Minister accept a challenge? Everything that she has said endorses just about everything that I have said, but there are no consequences. Every time we have a debate, in every petition she answers, and in every parliamentary question that she responds to, the answer is, “We are keeping it under review.” What will it take for the British Government to shift from “keeping it under review” to “We have had enough. We will sanction these Chinese individuals, just as the US and other countries have done—and we had a particular duty to do that long before now”?
