Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether the provisions concerning a complaints process about the conduct of operators under section 70 of the Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure Act 2022 are now in effect; and, if not, when they will come into effect.

The provisions in Section 70 of the Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure Act 2022 concerning the handling of complaints about the conduct of operators are not yet in force.

The Government remains committed to implementing Section 70 of the Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure Act 2022 as soon as possible.

My Department is considering options for implementation and will engage with stakeholders as part of this process. We will confirm timelines for the implementation of Section 70 in due course.
