answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/06/2018 answer text <p>As 5G technology is still at innovation stage and has not been commercially deployed yet, there are currently no national 5G networks in the UK. Once this technology is deployed, it will be built out across existing networks and complimentary to them. Widespread loss of electricity is one of the highest risks in the National Risk Register of Civil Emergencies published by government. As a result, DCMS together with Ofcom and industry take power resilience matters and telecommunications very seriously.</p> answering member printed Lord Ashton of Hyde question first answered 06/06/2018 14:37:05 answering member 4247 label Biography information for Lord Ashton of Hyde
