No 10 says Badenoch’s claim PM should have intervened to stop China spy trial collapsing ‘absurd’ – UK politics live
Matt Western , the Labour chair of the joint committee on national security strategy, said that his commitee met this morning and has decided to hold a formal inquiry into this.
He said the chairs of the home affairs committee, the foreign affairs committee and the justice committee were among the committee’s members.
He asked for an assurance that the inquiry would have access to ministers and officials.
Ward said the government welcomed parliamentary scrutiny. He said he was sure witnesses would be made available to the committee.
At the start of the week, Kemi Badenoch wrote an open letter to Keir Starmer containing six questions about the China spy affair.
In a reply to the Tory leader, Keir Starmer has restated his assertion that ministers and special advisers did not put pressure on witnesses, or seek to influence the trial.
He also said he would not stand for anyone being “unfairly blamed” – a comment aimed at attacks on Jonathan Powell, the national security adviser, and Matthew Collins, the deputy national security adviser.
He said:
