Public prosecutors have said a Chinese spy case involving Christopher Cash and Christopher Berry was dropped due the lack of evidence provided by the Labour government on labelling the country a threat. The Director of Public Prosecutions Stephen Parkinson said the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) tried to take evidence from the government “over many months” but failed to gain enough evidence from the government. The CPS dropped the case around the pair’s alleged espionage for China in mid-September, prompting strong criticism from the Speaker of the House Lindsay Hoyle as well as other parliamentarians who believed they had been targeted. Both Cash and Berry deny all allegations and reject any wrongdoing around collecting information on politicians’ claims around the Chinese Communist Party. \n\nIn a letter on Tuesday, Parkinson said prosecutors had attempted to get clarity from the government, with clarity on whether it labelled China a threat necessary for the case to go ahead. “It was considered that further evidence should be obtained,” the letter said.“Efforts to obtain that evidence were made over many months, but notwithstanding the fact that further witness statements were provided, none of these stated that at the time of the offence China represented a threat to national security, and by late August 2025 it was realised that this evidence would not be forthcoming.“When this became apparent, the case could not proceed.”\n\nReports suggested last week national security adviser Jonathan Powell, a political appointee made by Sir Keir Starmer when he came into office, intervened on the case by claiming the state could not officially call China an “enemy” in court. The label is key to ensuring individuals can be prosecuted under the Official Secrets Act of 1911.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"}}}
