The roll-out of 5G networks in Britain could be delayed, Culture Secretary Jeremy Wright said, adding that he would not trade off the economic benefit of using cheap kit with security risk.

The German government has yet to reach a common stance on whether to follow other countries in excluding Chinese telecoms network equipment firm Huawei Technologies from its market on national security grounds, the Interior Ministry said.

“The process of reaching a common view on concrete steps has not been completed,” the Interior Ministry said in a written answer to a question submitted by lawmaker Katharina Droege of the opposition Greens party seen by Reuters.
