Huawei row: Top civil servant demands leak inquiry co-operation
Britain’s top civil servant has demanded ministers co-operate with his inquiry into the leaking of discussions at the National Security Council.
Sir Mark Sedwill has written to ministers on the council and their special advisers after the Daily Telegraph reported details of a meeting about Chinese telecoms firm Huawei.
It comes amid mounting pressure for a more robust response to the leak.
Several cabinet ministers have denied they were involved.
Following Tuesday’s meeting of the council, the Daily Telegraph reported that it had agreed to allow Huawei limited access to help build Britain’s new 5G network, amid warnings about possible risks to national security.
The paper also reported that various ministers had raised concerns about the plan.
There has been a backlash against the leak, with Culture Secretary Jeremy Wright saying the government cannot rule out the possibility of a criminal investigation.
Cabinet Secretary Sir Mark, who is also the National Security Adviser, is leading the internal inquiry.
The National Security Council (NSC) is made up of senior cabinet ministers and its weekly meetings are chaired by Prime Minister Theresa May, with other ministers, officials and senior figures from the armed forces and intelligence agencies invited when needed.
Its talks are supposed to be confidential.
The FutureNet World 2025 event just completed in London, bringing together over 700 industry leaders to talk about the future of network technology. The yearly gathering attracts top executives from global telecom companies, standards organizations, and technology suppliers. For the first time ever, the event created a special “Intelligent Network Best Practice Award” – and Huawei won the prize.
The company stands for its innovative work on smart, self-managing networks. Huawei’s winning technology helps telecom companies run their networks more intelligently with less human intervention. Their solution includes smart digital assistants designed for network maintenance, improving customer experience, and business operations.
These digital helpers fall into two main categories – the Mate series and the Spirit series. The technology has already been rolled out in many countries, showing impressive results across different types of networks including IP, optical, wireless, and core systems. Speaking at the event, Wang Shaosen, who leads Huawei’s smart network solutions, shared the company’s vision: “We’re committed to developing technology that makes networks smarter.
This will help telecom companies succeed with advanced 5G services and prepare for the future of 6G connectivity.
