英国国家安全情报机构军情五处透露,一名中共代理人秘密渗透到英国议会並干预英国政治。
来自军情五处的警告称,长期在英国经营律师业务的李贞驹(Christine Ching Kui Lee)为中国共产党(CCP)与现任议员和有意竞选成为国会议员的人“建立了联系”,然后,她向政界人士捐款,资金来自在中国和香港的非英国人。
军情五处表示,任何与李接触的人都应该“注意她的隶属关系”及其“推进中共议程的活动”。
英国保守党议员和前任党魁邓肯·史密斯爵士13日在议会下院就军情五处的警告提问,确认下院议长已通过电子邮件将警告发送给议员。
他说,这是“一个严重关切的问题”,呼吁将李驱逐出境,并要求政府向下院作出解释。
英国前国防部长托拜厄斯·埃尔伍德(Tobias Ellwood)也呼吁政府在下院作出解释,并补充说:“这是我们现在预期来自中国的那种灰色地带干扰。”
他还说,“但事实上,这种事发生在议会,政府必须要有紧迫感。”
