Three: Vodafone Group
(asked on 16th October 2023) - View Source
Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether the Investment Security Unit is currently assessing the national security implications of the proposed merger between Vodafone UK and Three.
This question was answered on 19th October 2023
The Deputy Prime Minister, as Secretary of State in the Cabinet Office, takes decisions under the National Security and Investment Act 2021 in a quasi-judicial capacity. It would therefore not be appropriate to comment on individual cases, given commercial and national security sensitivities.
The Investment Security Unit coordinates expertise from across Government as part of this process.
