"I have never been to China. I have never spoken on China or China related matters in the Commons. I have never asked a question on China-related matters. As far as I am aware I have never met any Chinese businesses whilst I have been an MP, any Chinese diplomats or government employees."
"I can confirm to the House that British officials have formally démarche Chinese counterparts in London and Beijing about these allegations to raise our strong concerns. If there is proven evidence of attempts by China to interfere with UK sovereign affairs, we will impose severe consequences and hold all actors involved to account."
