MI5 on Espionage

The UK is a high priority espionage target and a number of countries are actively seeking UK information and material to advance their own military, technological, political and economic programmes.

We (MI5) estimate that at least 20 foreign intelligence services are operating to some degree against UK interests. Of greatest concern are the Russians and Chinese.

The number of Russian intelligence officers in London has not fallen since Soviet times.

The threat against UK interests is not confined to the UK itself. A foreign intelligence service operates best in its own country and some may therefore find it easier to target UK interests at home, where they can control the environment and where we may let our guard drop.

Taking a new approach to counter-terrorism

For the first time, the government has set out as full and open an account of its counter-terrorism policies as it’s safe to reveal. The Home Office launched a wide-ranging revision to its counter-terrorism strategy, which is known as CONTEST.

The strategy sets out the principles that form the basis of the government`s response to terrorism. These include keeping human rights at the heart of all the counter-terrorism work in this country and overseas.

It emphasises the need to address the longer term issues that form the roots of modern terrorism, as well as dealing with those who commit acts of terrorism.

Read the strategy

You can find out more about the strategy in several ways:
