Reports last week revealed the UK had planned to allow the controversial Chinese mobile company to build limited aspects of the UK’s next-gen network.
However, there’d been no official announcement from the government and an inquiry was launched to discover the source of the information leaked to the media.
Williamson, who had served in the high-level cabinet position since 2017, had denied the allegations, but a letter from Prime Minister Theresa May on Wednesday outlined a loss of confidence and asserted there was compelling evidence he was involved.
