英國上下議院議長今日分別出聲明禁止新任中國駐英國大使進入英國國會。

事緣係咁嘅，可能大家都知英國下議院有好多非官方跨黨關注組織，响中國議題上面，就有屬於相對溫和嘅All-Party Parliamentary Group on China (APPG)，同埋有幾個議員被中國制裁嘅鷹派Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China（IPAC）。之前APPG嘅議員安排新任中國駐英國大使鄭澤光去下議院會面，去到上星期，IPAC中被制裁嘅上下議院議員就聯署向上議院議長（Lords Speaker, John McFall）同下議院議長（Commons Speaker, Sir Lindsay Hoyle）反對鄭生進入下議院。

咁下議院議長就問外交大臣對呢件事嘅立場，得到嘅回覆係議會（立法機關）嘅事務，唔應該由政府（行政）決定。

今日，上下議院議長決定，議員响其他地方會面無問題，亦都管唔到，但鄭生就唔可以進入英國議會範圍。兩位議長分別出咗聲明解釋理由，下議院嘅Sir Lindsay Hoyle係咁講，

“I regularly hold meetings with ambassadors from across the world to establish enduring ties between countries and parliamentarians. But I do not feel it’s appropriate for the ambassador for China to meet on the Commons estate and in our place of work when his country has imposed sanctions against some of our members. If those sanctions were lifted, then of course this would not be an issue.”
（基於建立各國代議士與政府嘅長遠關系，本人經常同世界各地嘅大使會面，但係我唔覺得响仍然有議員被制裁嘅情況下，响下議院範圍內同中國大使會面係嘅合適嘅安排。如果嗰啲制裁撤銷咗嘅話，咁就緊係唔會有問題。）

而上議院議長Lord McFall就咁講，

“The Speakers of both houses are in agreement that this particular all-party parliamentary group China meeting should take place elsewhere considering the current sanctions against members including two members of the Lords.”
（考慮到制裁對部份議員，包括兩名上議院議員仍然有效，兩院議長一致同意個別跨黨組織嘅會面應該去其他地方進行。）

How to write Kimigayo with gold brush | His Imperial Majesty's Reign | The national anthem of Japan

"Kimigayo" (君が代, Japanese pronunciation: [kimiɡajo]; "His Imperial Majesty's Reign") is the national anthem of Japan. The lyrics of "Kimigayo" are probably the oldest among the world's national anthems, and with a length of 32 characters, they are also the world's shortest. The lyrics are from a waka poem written by an unnamed author in the Heian period (794–1185), and the current melody was chosen in 1880, replacing an unpopular melody composed by John William Fenton eleven years earlier. Its length of 11 measures is currently among the world's shortest. While the title "Kimigayo" is usually translated as "His Imperial Majesty's Reign", no official translation of the title or lyrics has been established in law.

From 1888 to 1945, "Kimigayo" served as the national anthem of the Empire of Japan. When the Empire was dissolved following its surrender at the end of World War II, the State of Japan succeeded it in 1945. This successor state was a parliamentary democracy, and the polity therefore changed from a system based on imperial sovereignty to one based on popular sovereignty. However, the U.S. occupation forces allowed Emperor Hirohito to retain the throne and "Kimigayo" remained the de facto national anthem. The passage of the Act on National Flag and Anthem in 1999 recognized it as the official national and imperial anthem.
