The Government agrees with the Committee that Huawei should continue to be distanced from sensitive networks. High risk vendors are not—and never will be—in our most sensitive networks. The decision was made in January 2020 that high risk vendors, including Huawei, should be excluded from the core parts of the network that are critical to security and excluded from sensitive sites. The Telecommunications (Security) Bill that is currently in Parliament will provide the government with new national security powers to impose controls on the use of high-risk vendors.
