answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/06/2023 answer text <p>We are aware of the difficulties British National (Overseas) (BN(O)) status holders are experiencing in seeking early withdrawal of their pension held by the Mandatory Provident Fund in Hong Kong. The root of the problem is the Chinese Government's decision not to recognise the BN(O) passport as a valid identity document in Hong Kong. The UK firmly opposes the discrimination of BN(O)s in this way. We have urged the Hong Kong authorities to facilitate the early drawdown of funds as is the case for other Hong Kong residents who move overseas permanently.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 12/06/2023 16:53:16 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick
