THE husband of a Labour MP and two other men have been released on bail after being arrested on suspicion of spying for China.

David Taylor, the husband of Scottish Labour MP Joani Reid (inset), is under investigation on suspicion of assisting a foreign intelligence service.

Taylor, 39, alongside two other men, aged 43 and 68, were arrested by counter-terrorism officers at addresses in London and Wales on Wednesday and have been released on bail until May, the Metropolitan Police said.

Following Mr Taylor's arrest, Ms Reid, who sits on the Home Affairs Select Committee and is MP for East Kilbride and Strathaven, said she had "never seen anything to make me suspect my husband has broken any law".
