EARLY DAY MOTION NUMBER 301: DEMOCRATIC AND HUMAN RIGHTS IN HONG KONG
We support the decisions of the Hong Kong Government not to grant an
extension of stay in Hong Kong to Ms Vertucci. It is the policy
of that Government not to give reasons for such decisions.
would therefore be inappropriate for me to do so.
It
Ms Vertucci has not been expelled from Hong Kong. Her permission
to stay there expired and has not been renewed.
My right honourable and noble Friend the Foreign Secretary has
received a petition from Ms Vertucci. He has reviewed the
decision and upheld it.
Every Government naturally reserves the right to apply its own
immigration policy in the public interest.
It is absurd to
suggest that this is a violation of human rights.
