Parliamentary scrutiny of Hong Kong Orders in Council
1.
The Home Office has told me that the Commons Standing
Committee on Statutory Instruments will debate the two Hong Kong
Orders in Council (one relating to the British Nationality
Scheme; the other to the British Nationals (Overseas)
Registration Programme) on 7 July at 16.30. They have asked
whether Hong Kong Department or Mr Goodlad's office have any thoughts on which MPs might usefully be drafted on to this Committee. The Home Office need any nominations by noon on
JUNE 23 July.
The Minister will presumably wish to consider asking
Mr Kynoch to serve on the Commmittee. In addition, other MPs
who have recently expressed interest in Hong Kong in helpful ways include Mr Lidington, Mr Renton and Mr Jonathan Evans.
The Home Office do not yet know when the Lords will consider
these Orders in Council.
