(MENAFN) Labor MP Geoffrey Robinson has denied claims that he was a Cold War spy who gave confidential government files to communist Czechoslovakia in the 1960s.
The allegations are contained in files archived by the current Czech government.
They focus on information about Britain's nuclear restriction, including its Polaris missile program, and details about Nato.
His lawyers said: "At no time did he ever pass confidential government documents or information to any foreign agent and he did not have access to such material."
However, the claims are contained in 390 pages of files compiled by the StB security service in Cold War Czechoslovakia and now administered by the Czech Republic's state security archives.
