Yes, that is exactly what I am saying, the Prime Minister said yesterday, and the Security Minister said on Monday.
Claire Young (Thornbury and Yate) (LD)
Notwithstanding the decision to drop this case, it is clear that China is trying to undermine our democracy. Will the Government include all Chinese officials, Hong Kong special administrative region officials and Chinese Communist party-linked organisations on the enhanced tier of the foreign influence registration scheme?
Chris Ward
