Supporting Hong Kongers in Scotland

Lodged by Sharon Dowey Standard Motion 25 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament supports the welcoming of Hong Kongers to settle in Scotland; understands the need to make them feel welcome in the communities that they choose to settle in; further supports the setting out of a plan to attract more Hong Kongers to Scotland; acknowledges what it sees as the role this has to play in accommodating British National Overseas (BNO) visa holders who are fleeing Hong Kong; considers that there is a need to stop bullying and racism, which, it believes, some Hong Kongers face from some Chinese communities in Scotland; expresses its support to those who are applying to the BNO visa scheme in order to escape what it considers as the anti-democracy environment in their home city, and hopes that Hong Kongers are happy with their decision to settle in Scotland.
