The spectacular sacking of the defense minister over a leak from a top-secret security meeting has highlighted a debate over Chinese company Huawei's role in the United Kingdom's telecom networks. Gavin Williamson, the minister in question, continues to maintain his innocence in a saga that reveals more about a breakdown of discipline within British Prime Minister Theresa May's Brexit-beleaguered government than it does about Britain's state secrets. The leak to the Daily Telegraph newspaper from the National Security Council, an ad-hoc grouping of ministers and spy chiefs, revealed that a number of May's close associates, Williamson included, had raised concerns about a decision to allow Huawei to help build the UK's 5G network.
