Birth policy to be strictly enforced in Hong Kong

According to the zero quota policy promulgated earlier, for pregnant women from the Chinese mainland with their husbands being Hong Kong permanent residents, or Hong Kong residents who came on One-way Permits and have made bookings at local private hospitals for delivery in 2013, their identity and their marital relations with their husbands will be subject to stringent verification.

The Immigration Department, the Office of the Licensing Authority, and other law enforcement agencies will boost interception and enforcement actions against pregnant mainland women whose husbands are not Hong Kong permanent residents. — Xinhua.
