Lord Alton of Liverpool (CB)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 17 December 2024

Debate

United Front Work Department

Contribution

My Lords, I thank the noble Lord for the work he did on the Intelligence and Security Committee. Will he reiterate to your Lordships’ House the findings of that committee that 40,000 members of the United Front Work Department had penetrated “every sector of the United Kingdom economy”, including our universities? Why then does the Prime Minister still refuse to officially declare China a threat, while Ken McCallum as head of MI5 says that infiltration is on an “epic scale”?
