全國人大會議今日(5月28日)表決通過「港版國安法」的決定草案後,英國外相藍韜文隨即警告,除非中國終止立法,否則將給予約30萬名BNO持有人更大的簽證權利。
藍韜文受訪時表示,允許BNO持有人於英國的居留期限,由半年延長至1年。並容許他們期間申請就業和上學,為他們成為公民提供途徑。
In pool interview, Raab said: "In relation to BNO passport holders, as you know currently they only have the right to come to the UK for six months. If China continues down this path and implements this national security legislation, we will change that status."
