MEMBERS of China's working panel for post-1997 Hong Kong who hold a second passport will be challenged at the plenary session of the National People's Congress (NPC) in Beijing next month.
NPC deputy and long-time pro-China figure Dorothy Liu Yiu-chu will ask for an official stance on the issue.
Ms Liu, who has been critical of the composition of the panel, the Preliminary Working Committee (PWC), said it was up to the NPC deputies to ensure the PWC - formed under a decision of the NPC Standing Committee - was run properly.
''We have to make sure whether those sitting on the panel have full allegiance to the Chinese Government.
''Do people holding a second passport represent the interests of a foreign government or do they represent Hong Kong people?'' Ms Liu asked.
At least seven of the 30 Hong Kong PWC members hold foreign passports.
