The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what progress he has made on removing Huawei from 5G networks by the end of 2027.

Answered by Chris Bryant

As he will know, the Designated Vendor Direction issued in October 2022 set out twelve requirements on the removal of Huawei equipment and services that telecoms providers have a legal obligation to meet. We are working closely with providers who received a direction to monitor and ensure compliance. There are two remaining deadlines for the end of 2025 and 2027 which providers must meet.
