HUMZA Yousaf has said Scottish ministers are taking the issue of China’s influence in Scotland “seriously” amid the arrest of a parliamentary…
Speaking during a visit to CodeBase in Stirling, Yousaf said: “Of course, any threat to our security and cybersecurity is one we take very seriously, and I know from conversations with the UK Government that they take it seriously too, and therefore the various agencies that are involved work and collaborate very well, so there’s already a significant amount of work that’s done to ensure that we identify where those threats come from and that we take the appropriate mitigation action.
“To this end, I would like to see a commitment from both our governments to conduct an immediate strategic audit of the reach of China’s influence in Scotland.”Speaker Lindsay Hoyle said security arrangements are kept under review but stressed that vetting procedures for Parliament are the same as for the UK Government.
“This is an ongoing, sensitive investigation and members will of course understand that public discussion will be wholly inappropriate.
