Mr Clark expressed his doubts about the Hong Kong authoritys claims regarding the proposed proscription mechanism. He said, "The Hong Kong Secretary of State claims that the proposals are not aimed at particular groups, but we must all await the actual draft of the Bill's wording before we can rest assured on this immensely important part of it."
Mr Clark contacted the Foreign & Commonwealth Office on behalf of this practitioner and has forwarded the reply he received from the Foreign Office, which detailed the many interventions undertaken by the UK government in this matter.
Other prominent politicians including several ministers have also contacted the Foreign Office regarding the Article 23 legislation in Hong Kong.
