Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many investigations are currently underway into potential foreign interference activities linked to the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in London.
Answered by Dan Jarvis
It is the longstanding policy of successive UK Governments that we do not comment on operational, intelligence or security matters.
The verdicts in the recent trial represent the first convictions under the National Security Act related to China and send a strong message that the full force of the law will be applied to anyone who carries out hostile acts in the UK on behalf of any foreign state.
