34. To support delivery of the Hong Kong BN(O) Integration Programme and underpin the work of the IMG, the MHCLG has established a Taskforce, chaired by Lord Greenhalgh. The aim of the Hong Kong BN(O) Taskforce, which met on 13 July, is to bring together stakeholders and delivery partners to ensure BN(O) status holders choosing to settle in the UK have all the information and support they need to live and thrive in the UK, and to advise the MHCLG and Government about progress and barriers to delivery.
