Huawei: 5G

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, pursuant to the oral contribution of the previous Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport of 22 July 2019, Official Report, column 1135, on the Telecoms Supply Chain Review, whether her Department has set a timetable for the decision on what involvement Huawei should have in the provision of the UK’s 5G network.

Answer

Decisions on additional controls relating to any supply chain company that poses significant security and resilience risks to UK telecoms are still under consideration. This is to allow the implications of the US entity listing on the telecoms market as a whole to be taken into account. These decisions will be announced in due course.
