The Conservatives have been told to “stop throwing mud” at the Government over the collapse of the China spying case, as it said ministers could have done nothing to persuade the Crown Prosecution Service to carry on the case.

Home Office minister Dan Jarvis told MPs the Government did not interfere in the case or attempt to make representations to ensure the strength of evidence.
