HSBC and bank accounts in Hong Kong

Early day motion 1296, tabled 12 June 2023 by Gregory Campbell (DUP). Signed by 7 members.

That this House notes reports that HSBC Bank has closed accounts of one of the few opposition parties remaining in Hong Kong, the League of Social Democrats, limiting the pro-democracy group from legitimate fundraising; finds this reprehensible following the same bank's backing of the Beijing Government's draconian measures to oppose pro-democracy groups in Hong Kong; and calls on the Government to hold discussions with other democratically-elected governments to coordinate an international response to the bank's unacceptable actions.

Signatures by party: DUP 4, Labour 2, Alba 1.
