The figures emerged just weeks after the UK said the number of fresh applications for a bespoke immigration pathway for Hongkongers fell to 5,102 in the third quarter of this year.

Applications for the British National (Overseas) Visa scheme have fallen from a peak of more than 30,000 in each of the first two quarters of 2021.
