How Would He Know?

A 25-year-old Russian woman who came to this country three years ago to study and has been working as a researcher for an MP who sits on the Defence Select Committee has been detained on suspicion of being a spy and faces deportation proceedings.

The MP in question backs his researcher 100% and said, ‘I have no reason to believe she did any thing but act honourably during the time she was working for me.’ Perhaps he is right.

Two questions, however, arise in my mind.

The first is why would any MP want to employ a non-British national as a researcher, particularly if that MP could have access to sensitive papers? The second is how would the MP have known whether or not she was a spy?
