In a letter to MPs, Commons speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle said
Chinese state actors are “relentless" in their attempts to "interfere
with our processes and influence activity at Parliament".
The Commons speaker claimed the Chinese Ministry of State
Security (MSS) was "actively reaching out to individuals in our
community", arguing they seek to "collect information and lay the
groundwork for long-term relationships, using professional networking sites,
recruitment agents and consultants acting on their behalf".
Security minister Dan Jarvis will address the House of
Commons on Tuesday afternoon to outline measures the government is taking to
combat Chinese espionage.
