Suella Braverman, the former Home Secretary, is leadng calls for the alleged Chinese spy, described as a “close confidant” of the Duke of York, to lose his anonymity.
The thought has been echoed by other senior Tories such as Sir Iain Duncan Smith and Chris Philp, reports The Telegraph.Braverman, who was home secretary when the former civil servant from China was banned from entering the UK on national security grounds in July 2023, has expressed concern over the matter.MI5 had identified him as an agent involved in “covert and deceptive activity” on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party.
“We know that China is using all means necessary, particularly espionage and exploiting vulnerabilities in the UK, to gain access to state secrets and other sensitive information that could harm our national security.“So disclosing the identity of this person will have a deterrent effect on others involved in similar activities and will also ensure full transparency is provided on this issue of critical national security importance.
