The Prime Minister has confirmed that the Government will publish the witness statements "in full" submitted to the Chinese espionage trial.
In a statement during Prime Minister's Questions, Sir Keir Starmer told the Commons he has taken the decision to publish the evidence submitted to the CPS.
He told MPs: "After legal advice, I have decided to publish the witness statements.
"Given the information contained, we will conduct a short process, but I want to make clear I intend to publish the witness statements in full."

Taking aim at the Conservatives, Sir Keir stated: "To be clear, had the Conservatives been quicker in updating our legislation, a review that started in 2015, these individuals could have been prosecuted and we would not be where we are without.
"I'm happy to answer any questions on this. This morning I had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others in addition to my duties in this House, I should have further such meetings later today."
Hitting back at Sir Keir, Tory leader Kemi Badenoch accused the Prime Minister of "more obfuscation" over the China spying case.
She told the Commons: "It concerns us all that the case against two people spying on members of this house has collapsed. It is simply unbelievable.

"Exactly as I expected, the Prime Minister had to be dragged out at the top of PMQs to give a statement that answers no questions.
"We are talking about the security of this Parliament. He had to be dragged out to repeat only more obfuscation. It is simply unbelievable."
Declaring that the Labour Government are "too weak" to stand up to China, Mrs Badenoch added: "A serious case involving national security has collapsed because this Government is too weak to stand up to China.
"Exactly as I expected, the Prime Minister had to be dragged out at the top of PMQs to give a statement that answers no questions."
