Lord Hanson of Flint (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 June 2026

Debate

Concealed Surveillance Equipment in Government Offices and Vehicles

Contribution

China influences our political system in many ways, and the Government will not tolerate any foreign interference from any state actor targeting the UK. We have been consistent and unambiguous in our assessment that China presents a series of threats to the UK. We have to do business with China still and recognise China, and we have to work with China on a number of areas of common interest—but, self-evidently, there are a number of significant threats that China poses. We keep those under review and, in all our dealings with the nation of China, we bear those aspects of work in mind.
