China trial statement: publish correspondence with DNSA and CPS
EMBARGO: Immediate Release
Responding to the Security Minister's claims in the Commons that the Deputy National Security Adviser was solely responsible for the evidence given to the CPS in the China spy trial, Liberal Democrat Foreign Affairs Spokesperson Calum Miller MP said:
"The Government’s attempts to duck scrutiny and scapegoat a single official simply won't wash.
"It's inconceivable that neither Keir Starmer nor his National Security Adviser knew what evidence was being submitted in such an important case. The buck for this fiasco ultimately stops with the Prime Minister.
“Ministers need to come clean on why this case fell apart and publish all correspondence with the Deputy National Security Adviser, and the CPS, without delay. We need the truth now.”
