Government departments ordered to stop installing cameras made by Chinese firms in 'sensitive sites'
They have also been urged to disconnect Chinese-made devices from core computer networks and to consider removing them altogether, amid security concerns.
The Government Security Group has said that since companies in China have to comply with the country's national intelligence law, which requires them to cooperate with Beijing's intelligence services, they should no longer be used.
Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Oliver Dowden said that a review had been conducted into current and future security risks around the installation of surveillance systems on the government estate and concluded that "additional controls were required".

If they are knock off's made in China they probably don't work anyway.
Over 50% of UK homes now own an airfryer, but it might be the latest gadget that is spying on you.
A shock investigation by consumer magazine Which? have revealed several popular models that were capable of snooping on you in your home.
Air fryers are now the third most-used appliance in UK kitchens after toasters and microwaves, according to a Good Food Nation study. The popular kitchen gadgets have apparently been harvesting information and listening in to conversations through their associated phone apps.
Which? editor Harry Rose said: “Our research shows how smart tech manufacturers and the firms they work with are. They currently able to collect data from consumers, seemingly with reckless abandon, and this is often done with little or no transparency.”
According to the investigation, the £45 Xiaomi Mi Smart fryer allegedly shared data with the company behind TikTok. The £57 Aigostar’s fryer is allegedly able to send recordings of phone calls to China.
The investigation found that the brands knew their customers’ precise location and wanted permission to record audio on the user’s phone.
The UK’s data watchdog the Information Commissioner’s Office is now planning to publish new rules in the spring on how consumers’ data can be used.
ICO policy adviser Slavka Bielikova said: “Smart products know a lot about us – who we live with, what music we like, what medication we are taking and much more.
“We would expect a smart product to only use and collect the personal data it needs to provide its functions.”
