Baroness Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 13 October 2025

Debate

Chinese Espionage: Parliament

Contribution

The noble Lord makes a very important point. Obviously, the 18-month delay is unfortunate, which is why we are trying to fix the court services going forward. With regard to the point made by the noble Lord, there was the Roussev case, a piece of case law about the Official Secrets Act, which concerned the DPP, which is why additional information was taken and why the CPS has made its decision, from my understanding.
