🔴 Downing Street has said it takes the security of MPs “very seriously” after theipaper investigation revealed a Chinese tracking device had been found in a UK government car
officials stripped back vehicles in response to growing concerns over spyware and found at least one SIM card capable of transmitting location data.
The device was discovered during a thorough sweep of government and diplomatic vehicles which unearthed “disturbing things”, a serving security source confirmed. The Prime Minister’s official spokesperson said: “I can’t get into specific claims for security reasons, as you’d expect. I think the Government takes very seriously the issues of security of both Government ministers and for MPs.
The comments come as the UK government said it would “seriously” look at Chinese suppliers, “looking through the entire supply chain, not just at the top level” during a House of Commons debate over the new Procurement Bill.MPs are fighting to keep a Lords amendment to the Bill – which will examine the way public authorities purchase goods and services after Brexit – that inhibits the purchase and use of Chinese technology.
