answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/05/2020 answer text <p>On 28 January, the Government announced the final conclusions of the Telecoms Supply Chain Review in relation to high risk vendors. It was announced that equipment from high risk vendors should be excluded from the core parts of the 5G and full fibre networks that are critical to security, and their presence limited to 35% in the rest of the network. We expect the cost of meeting restrictions on the presence of equipment from high risk vendors to be met by the operators using that equipment.</p> answering member constituency Boston and Skegness answering member printed Matt Warman question first answered 06/05/2020 08:21:12 answering member 4361 label Biography information for Matt Warman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/03/2020 answer text <p>The recent announcement of a new £65 million package of 5G trials forms part of the DCMS £200 million 5G Testbeds and Trials programme. That included £35 million for nine winning projects from our rural and industrial 5G competitions, and a new £30 million open competition - 5G Create - that will launch in due course.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The Programme ensures that each of our projects has a security strategy in place that identifies and mitigates security risks and is proportionate for R&amp;D environments. Testbeds are encouraged to employ nationally recognised standards and best practice security approaches. This includes identifying and mitigating supply chain risks and taking steps to manage High Risk Vendors. None of the successful projects announced as part of Industrial 5G and Rural Connected Communities will use equipment from high risk vendors. We will publish guidance in due course for our 5G Create competition when it launches.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Boston and Skegness answering member printed Matt Warman question first answered 03/03/2020 15:30:59 answering member 4361 label Biography information for Matt Warman
