A womanising MP was targeted by a suspected Russian spy in a Moscow ‘honeytrap’ sting, Whitehall sources believe.
Liberal Democrat Mike Hancock, 64, was introduced to 25-year-old Katia Zatuliveter on one of his regular visits to the Eastern Bloc superpower.
He agreed to give a job and parliamentary pass to the blonde suspected agent – handing her at least three years’ access to official documents on defence policy.
Mr Hancock has also asked dozens of questions about nuclear weapons and other hugely sensitive defence topics to the point where responses by ministers were vetted by the security services.
Among them, he asked for the locations of berths for submarines, a request to publish an inventory of the country’s nuclear arsenal and when the next design review of the Trident warhead will take place.
Now, following the intervention of MI5, his glamorous aide is facing deportation on the grounds that her suspected espionage is not ‘conducive to national security’.
Yesterday it emerged that:
The suspected spy’s father and sister are both recruiting Russian students to come to Britain.
She almost won a post with a large UK defence organisation until British security officials warned the firm off.
MPs expressed alarm that she had got her job in the first place and appeared to have sidestepped vetting checks.
Security sources fear at least 20 similar spies could be working in Britain under false identities. The case mirrors that of 28-year-old Russian socialite Anna Chapman, who was arrested by the FBI in the summer and sent back to Russia. She had married a Briton and lived in London before moving to New York.
Whitehall officials insisted last night there was no threat to national security, but conceded that Miss Zatuliveter had access to information which is not available to the public.

Is it only men who fall prey to “honey trap” spies? What would be the equivalent for a female?? Honey stick? What?? Don’t think women would do that sort of thing.........just thinkin
I dont think that honeytrapped would be the word that I would use with regards to little lindsey.
By damn he does lololololololololololololol.Ya just cant make this stuff up.
Two words: Lew Inskies
What can you say? Love is blind. And that’s why men with questionable romantic entanglements should kept at arms’ length from national secrets.
She’s bony! She needs to eat pots of honey!
Only ever happened in wartime. Probably wouldnt happen even then in these days of Human Rights.
That is what the Firefox add-on “Add Block Plus” is for. No more Barney picture.
“Instead it was just to get read the riot act by some rectangular shaped harridan in maroon hair over some minor infraction or another.”
Often sitting at a desk at the end of the hotel floor hall, as I remember!
