A former UK parliamentary researcher mentioned in reports about Chinese spying said he is innocent, even as Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s government faces pressure to take stronger action against Beijing.

Police confirmed on Saturday that two men were arrested under the Official Secrets Act in March. One, a man in his twenties, was identified by the Sunday Times newspaper as a researcher with links to members of Parliament.

In a statement released by his law firm, Birnberg Peirce, the researcher, who has not been officially named by police, said he is innocent.

“It is wrong that I should be obliged to make any form of public comment on the misreporting that has taken place,” his lawyers cited their client, who they also did not name, as saying. “However, given what has been reported, it is vital that it is known that I am completely innocent.’”
