Organised Crime: China

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment her Department has made of the potential implications for its policies of evidence in the Wilson Report on the direction of Chinese organised crime activity by the PRC.

Answered by Dan Jarvis

Across the country, officers are confronting complex serious organised crime groups who collaborate across borders.

We are stepping up efforts by introducing a world class National Police Service to bring together specialist capabilities and adopt best-in-class technology. This will bolster action to detect and disrupt the most dangerous criminals.

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

This Government, working closely with our law enforcement partners, is strengthening our understanding of Chinese organised crime activity in the UK. Where crime is identified, we will pursue all avenues to ensure the perpetrators are brought to justice.
