In a statement, the Congressional Committee, chaired by Republican John Moolenaar, said: ‘The PRC’s mega-embassy in the UK raises significant security concerns: from interference and surveillance to risks for sensitive infrastructure like London’s financial services.

‘We must work to urgently address this issue and work with our allies to protect national security.’
