The government can possibly ban Huawei from 5G networks. The Telegraph reported that a directive from the government was provided to telecoms businesses on July 14, ordering them to remove all Huawei equipment from the UK's 5G networks; the decision was said to trigger a renewed clash with Beijing, China.

60 Tory rebels, including former party leader Sir Iain Duncan Smith, sent a letter to Mr. Johnson on July 13, giving him a warning that he must end the involvement of the mobile phone network with Huawei without unreasonable delay; senior party members were also forcing the decision to ban the new Huawei equipment by early next year completely.
The forthcoming Telecommunications Security Bill, which is expected to be introduced later in 2020, will be amended by the rebels if the decision is not finalized. The report explained that Mr. Johnson's 80-seat majority could possibly be overturned by the rebels, inflicting major defeat over the bill to dictate policy to him efficiently.
