"It is untrue to claim that the systems we use to transfer the most sensitive government information have been compromised."
"Material from intelligence services. Material from the National Security Secretariat in the Cabinet Office. Things the government has to keep secret. If they're not secret, then there are very, very serious implications for it."
"What I'm saying is that some Strap stuff was compromised and vast amounts of data classified as extremely secret and extremely dangerous for any foreign entity to control was compromised."
Claims assert that Chinese actors breached high-level UK systems used to transfer 'Strap' material, a classification for highly sensitive intelligence. The alleged compromise included material from intelligence services and the National Security Secretariat in the Cabinet Office. A senior aide to the prime minister at the time was briefed on the compromised data in 2020 and described the material as extremely secret and dangerous if controlled by a foreign entity. The Cabinet Office responded that it is untrue that the systems used to transfer the most sensitive government information have been compromised. Calls for an inquiry and offers to give evidence were made.
