The Telecommunications (Security) Bill wiill be laid before parliament today.
it gives the government the power to fine a telco a fine of up to ten per cent of turnover or £100,00 a day for breach of security directives such as allowing Huawei switchgear into their networks.
In July, following advice from the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), the government announced new controls on the use of Huawei 5G equipment – including a ban on the purchase of new Huawei equipment from the end of this year and a commitment to remove all Huawei equipment from 5G networks by 2027.

The Bill creates the powers that will allow the government to enshrine those decisions in law and manage risks from other high risk vendors in the future.
 Ofcom will be given the duty of monitoring and assessing the security of telecoms providers.
