Mr Robert Parry (Liverpool, Scotland Exchange): To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what is the appeal procedure in Hong Kong against a Government decision not to extend visas or work permits.
fkind
Anyone aggrieved by a decision of a public officer taken under
the Hong Kong Immigration Ordinance may object to that decision
by notice in writing lodged with the Chief Secretary within
fourteen days. The objection is then considered by the Governor
in Council. Any resident of a dependent territory may
also petition Her Majesty The Queen and the Secretary of
State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs.
