Speaking to the BBC today he warned Boris Johnson against using Huawei for 5G saying: 'There's no question that Huawei has engaged in some practices that are not acceptable in national security. There's no question that information from Huawei routers has ultimately ended up in hands that would appear to be the state'. Mr Johnson is expected to announce next month that the UK will phase out Huawei from its networks as quickly as possible. The Prime Minister held a meeting of his National Security Council last week where China was the main topic of discussion. Government figures revealed that during a 13-day period in April, the UK imported over 12 million pieces of PPE in the UK from China alone.
