- The Crown Prosecution Service dropped charges on Monday at the Old Bailey against Christopher Cash and Christopher Berry, accused of spying for China.
- The CPS discontinued the case after concluding that the available evidence was insufficient to justify proceeding to trial under the Official Secrets Act 1911.
