The government had postponed a ruling on the Chinese company’s role in Britain’s developing 5G networks, citing a lack of clarity over the impact of a U.S. export ban.
Asked when the government will make a decision on Huawei’s role, Morgan said: “We would expect to have that discussion in the autumn about where we stand.”
