Three: Vodafone Group

Question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, pursuant to the Answer of 4 December 2023 to Question 4433 on Three: Vodafone Group, if he will publish the decision of the Investment Security Unit on the proposed merger between Three and Vodafone.

Answer

Given the quasi-judicial nature of the government's investment screening powers, and for commercial and national security reasons, it would be inappropriate to comment on any specific acquisitions or the potential applicability of the NSI Act 2021. However, transparency is of course a crucial part of the NSI Act, and as such, the Government publishes notices of any Final Orders made on GOV.UK.
