Tom Tugendhat, the Tory former security minister, asked why one of the witness statements provided by the deputy national security adviser, Matthew Collins, included comments from the Labour manifesto about Labour’s China policy. He asked what that was the case when the case was meant to relate to the policy in place when the alleged offences were committed, when the Conservatives were in office.
Reeves said the most important witness statement was the one that was submitted when the Tories were in office.
