Written question asked by Navendu Mishra (Labour) on Monday, 16 October 2023, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Thursday, 19 October 2023 (named day). It was answered by Nusrat Ghani (Conservative) on Thursday, 19 October 2023 on behalf of the Cabinet Office.


Three: Vodafone Group

Question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether the Investment Security Unit has received representations from Vodafone UK in relation to its proposed merger with Three.

Answer

The Deputy Prime Minister, as Secretary of State in the Cabinet Office, takes decisions under the National Security and Investment Act 2021 in a quasi-judicial capacity. It would therefore not be appropriate to comment on individual cases, given commercial and national security sensitivities.

The Investment Security Unit coordinates expertise from across Government as part of this process.
