LONDON, March 10 (Reuters) - The government defeated a
rebellion in parliament by lawmakers in the ruling Conservative
Party over the role of Chinese technology company Huawei in the
development of Britain's 5G networks.
Rebel Conservative lawmakers had proposed a change to the
Telecommunications Infrastructure Bill, which would have
required Huawei to have been eliminated from the country's 5G
networks by Dec. 31 2022. Parliament rejected the amendment,
with the government winning the vote by 306 to 282.
