A US delegation presented the UK with new evidence claiming to show security risks posed by using the Chinese firm.A decision is expected this month on whether to allow Huawei to supply some"non-core" parts for the UK network. Senior US officials handed over a dossier of technical information which sources claim challenged British intelligence's own technical assessment that it would be possible to use Huawei in the 5G infrastructure without risks to national security.The move is being seen as the latest round in an intense lobbying effort by the Trump administration as the UK government prepares to makes its decision on the 5G network.
Meanwhile, Conservative MP Bob Seely has said Huawei"to all intents and purposes is part of the Chinese state" and a deal with the tech giant would allow Beijing to access the UK's network.
