"The East Kilbride and Strathaven MP stepped down from the Labour Party last month after her husband was arrested on suspicion of spying for China. Reid released a statement saying she was not under investigation by the police and she had done nothing wrong."
"The officer is no longer in charge of a nuclear submarine. This is understood to be unrelated to the investigation, and he is still in the Navy."
"A Royal Navy spokesperson said: 'The security of the nuclear deterrent is our highest priority, and we have robust processes in place to protect the security of our people and capabilities.'"
A senior naval officer faced investigation over allegations of an inappropriate relationship with Scottish MP Joani Reid. Reid stepped down from the Labour Party after her husband was arrested for suspected espionage. She stated she was not under police investigation. The naval officer, who commanded a nuclear submarine, was not found to have violated military rules and faced no disciplinary action. Security checks were conducted, and the Ministry of Defence was satisfied with the findings. Reid is now an independent MP after suspending herself from the Labour Party during the investigation.
