The Czech State Security (StB) officer reported on three meetings with the now Labour leader in which he said they discussed people connected to “anti-communist agencies” and British intelligence actions.
But in May 1989 PM Thatcher ordered Dymic and his fellow spies be deported.
She told MPs in the House of Commons: “We found those people in both the Soviet and the Czech embassies and we had to take action against them.
“The action had to be taken regardless of the effect upon our relations.”

The four Soviet-backed diplomats were given 14 days to get out and Dymic left the UK in June 1989.
He had been tasked with developing sources among left-wing activists, according to those who met him.
Dymic, then 35, was sent back to Prague where he joined the StB’s foreign counter-intelligence unit until the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1990.
Left-wing journalist Paul Anderson, 58, who met Dymic a number of times to complain about Czech treatment of dissidents, said: “He was a bit of a smoothie with James Bond good looks.
“And you knew exactly who you were dealing with — a paid representative of the Czech government — though he was quite shy and an improbable spy.”
