A Chinese tracking device was discovered in the Prime Minister's official car, MPs were told yesterday.
The bug is believed to have been found in a sealed part of the vehicle imported from China.
Its discovery during a sweep first emerged in 2023, sparking fears that Beijing was aggressively spying on ministers in the then-Conservative government.
Now it has been revealed that the device was in fact found in the Prime Minister's car the previous year.
Charles Parton, of think-tank the Council on Geostrategy, told the Commons Business and Trade Committee yesterday: 'The prime minister's car in 2022 was emanating data to China through the cellular module.'
This device is thought to have allowed it to communicate to others over mobile networks.
It is not clear which of the three Tory prime ministers that year – Boris Johnson, Liz Truss or Rishi Sunak – was being targeted.

"An engineer named Harishankar N. got curious about his iLife A11 smart vacuum and discovered it was secretly mapping his home and sending that data to China. The device had been using Google Cartographer [emphasis mine] to build a detailed 3D map of his home and dutifully transmitting every architectural detail to its manufacturers. When he tried to stop the spying, the company remotely bricked his $300 device as punishment."
The photo in the article shows a Jag. Are they now made in China?
Odd that there is no mention of the model car?
Would the Prime Minister of England drive a Chinese car?
If so, what car?
Something from Geely?
is there anything in Britain that is not now made in China or contains components made in China?
No vehicle sold in the US is 100% free of Chinese parts due to a highly globalized supply chain.

That’s why the ChiComs are spying.
To ensure they’re getting their money’s worth.
