The arrest of a parliamentary researcher on suspicion of spying for China is the main story across the front pages of Monday’s UK newspapers.

Pictures from the aftermath of the earthquake in Morocco feature heavily, but the arrest and its international fallout lead several titles.

China stands accused of a “hostile act” on the front of the Daily Mail while The Daily Telegraph says more suspected agents working at Westminster are about to be unmasked by British intelligence services.
