Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said:

I am very concerned that a UK national has been denied entry to Hong Kong. The British Government will be seeking an urgent explanation from the Hong Kong authorities and from the Chinese Government.

Hong Kong¡¯s high degree of autonomy, and its rights and freedoms, are central to its way of life and should be fully respected.
