Attendance of the Attorney General at the Bar of the House on the Chinese espionage case

That this House regrets the collapse of the prosecution of two alleged Chinese spies and is alarmed that the Attorney General, the Rt Hon Lord Hermer KC, was reportedly informed in August 2024 that the prosecution was at risk, yet has not publicly explained what actions he took to support the case; notes that, as a Member of the House of Lords, the Attorney General is unable to answer questions in this House in the normal way, preventing full ministerial accountability on a matter of the highest national importance; and requests that he attend at the Bar of this House at the earliest opportunity to answer questions from elected Members concerning his role in this matter.
