British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Oct. 15 agreed to release evidence submitted by the government in a now-collapsed case in which two men were accused of spying for China.

The case against Christopher Cash, 30, a former parliamentary researcher, and Christopher Berry, 33, a teacher, collapsed on Sept. 15, when prosecutor Tom Little KC said the case no longer met the evidential threshold. Both men pleaded not guilty.
