Lib Dems say China witness statements raise “more questions” than they answer and call for statutory inquiry
15 Oct 2025
EMBARGO: Immediate Release
Responding to the Government publishing evidence regarding the collapsed China spy case, Liberal Democrat Foreign Affairs Spokesperson, Calum Miller MP, said:
“These witness statements are only part of the puzzle and raise yet more unanswered questions.
“Did emphasising the government’s desire for a positive relationship with China effectively cause this trial to collapse? What evidence was the CPS requesting which the government failed to provide?
“And who was aware of these statements and the evidence being asked for both among ministers and in Number 10?
“We clearly need a statutory public inquiry to get to the bottom of this whole fiasco.”
