A concealed electronic recording device was identified within a government complex on Marsham Street, housing both the Home Office and the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG).

在 Marsham Street 的一座政府綜合大樓內發現了一個隱蔽的電子錄音設備，該大樓由內政部與房屋、社區及地方政府部 (MHCLG) 共用。

The device was located within a ceiling panel in a communal area of the facility during the preceding two-month period. While the building serves as the operational base for the Home Office—the entity tasked with national security and policing—and the MHCLG, the apparatus was situated away from ministerial offices. Specifically, sources indicate the discovery occurred within the section of the complex allocated to the MHCLG, a department previously involved in the adjudication of planning permissions for the Chinese embassy in London.

該設備在過去兩個月期間，被發現位於設施公共區域的天花板面板內。雖然該建築是內政部（負責國家安全與警務的單位）及 MHCLG 的運作基地，但該設備設置在遠離部長辦公室的位置。具體而言，消息來源指出，發現地點位於分配給 MHCLG 的區域，該部門此前曾參與審理中國駐倫敦大使館的規劃許可。

Institutional responses have remained constrained. A spokesperson for the MHCLG declined to provide specifics, citing a policy of non-commentary regarding security protocols. Similarly, the Home Office and the Prime Minister's spokesperson abstained from further elaboration. Notwithstanding these official silences, security services have been notified of the breach. Although the facility's strategic importance is noted, current reports indicate an absence of evidence linking the installation of the device to Russian or Chinese intelligence operatives.

機構的回應仍然相當克制。MHCLG 的發言人以不評論安全協定的政策為由，拒絕提供細節。同樣地，內政部與首相的發言人也拒絕進一步說明。儘管官方保持沉默，但安全部門已獲通知此次入侵事件。雖然該設施的戰略重要性已被注意到，但目前的報告顯示，尚無證據將設備的安裝與俄羅斯或中國的情報人員聯繫起來。

From a legislative oversight perspective, Alex Burghart, the Shadow Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, has characterized the event as a serious incident. Mr. Burghart posited that the breach necessitates an urgent inquiry to determine the identity of the responsible party, the duration of the device's operation, and the extent to which classified or sensitive data may have been compromised. He further suggested that the incident raises fundamental questions regarding the integrity of governmental security infrastructure.

從立法監督的角度來看，蘭開斯特公領影子大臣 Alex Burghart 將此次事件定性為嚴重事件。Burghart 先生認為，此次入侵需要緊急調查，以確定責任方身分、設備的運作時間，以及機密或敏感數據可能被洩露的程度。他進而指出，此次事件對政府安全基礎設施的完整性提出了根本性的質疑。

Security services are currently informed of the breach, while government departments maintain a policy of non-disclosure regarding the ongoing situation.

安全部門目前已獲通知此次入侵，而政府部門對當前情況維持不披露政策。
