TWO men have been arrested under the Official Secrets Act amid allegations that a parliamentary researcher spied for China.
Officers from the Metropolitan Police’s Counter Terrorism Command, which oversees espionage-related offences, are investigating. Kearns declined to comment, adding: “While I recognise the public interest, we all have a duty to ensure any work of the authorities is not jeopardised.” They said that the allegations, if true, would be a “serious escalation and shows the CCP will go to any length to attack thorns in their side”.
Smith said: “This story gives the lie to the Government’s attempt not to see China as a systemic threat. Last year, MI5 issued a rare security alert, warning MPs that a suspected Chinese spy called Christine Lee had engaged in “political interference activities” on behalf of China’s ruling communist regime.
