Labour Ministers have been accused of a ‘shameful’ plot to delay approval of a new Chinese ‘super embassy’ in London till after Donald Trump’s state visit.
They faced claims that to avoid the US president speaking out over the controversial plan while he was in the UK, a final decision had been deliberately postponed till weeks after he had left.
There were also suggestions that so desperate was the Labour government to agree to the embassy plan that they had covered up its potential use as a future Chinese ‘spy hub’.
That allegedly including Parliament being misled and Ministers being 'complicit' in the withholding of vital information on how the plans could involve sinister 'spy dungeons'.
Today, the Government dismissed the allegations of any such cover-up as ‘completely inaccurate’.
