Following Taylor’s arrest, Reid, elected to the East Kilbride and Strathaven seat in 2024, said she had never been to China, nor spoken on any China-related matters in the House of Commons.
Taylor, a former advisor to Welsh Labour politicians, ran as the party’s candidate to become North Wales police and crime commissioner.
On Thursday, The Herald, external newspaper reported Reid’s consultancy company, Reid Strategy Limited, had received more than £23,000 in interest-free loans from two of Taylor’s businesses.
Taylor, meanwhile, was paid more than £600,000 by a now-wound up construction firm, Moblake, in the form of an interest-free loan with no repayment terms and paid a further £300,000 in dividends and £30,000 in an interest-free loan by PR and communications consultancy Earthcott since 2021.
There is no suggestion of any wrongdoing by either spouse in relation to these transactions reported to Companies House.
