David Taylor

David Taylor is the husband of Scottish Labour MP Joani Reid. He is currently newsworthy due to his recent arrest on suspicion of spying for China. Counter-terrorism officers arrested Taylor, along with two other men, as part of a wider investigation into national security offences related to China. He is accused of assisting a foreign intelligence service. Following the arrest, Reid stated she had no involvement in her husband's business activities and had never seen anything to suspect he had broken any law. Taylor and the other two men have since been released on bail. The case is significant due to the potential implications for national security and the involvement of a sitting MP's spouse.
