Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many China-linked instances of (a) espionage or (b) assisting a foreign intelligence service have been identified in the UK since 5t July 2024.

As is longstanding government policy, it would be inappropriate to comment on specific national security matters.

Where there are individuals who pose a threat to our national security, we will use the full range of powers available to disrupt them. This includes the National Security Act 2023, which introduced a significant package of measures to be used against the full range of state threats activity.
