Dear Simon,

CONSULAR PROBLEMS FOR HONG KONG RESIDENTS

1. The media summary for 10 June include an article on page 3 headed "BNO". This referred to the case of a Hong Kong family being refused permission to board a flight to Canada in Germany. According to this piece, the Secretary for Security was questioned about this incident by LegCo on 9 June. Grateful for background, in case any questions are raised here.

Yours ever,

Debbie
