Cabinet Office
The UK Government has approved the Strategic Relationship Agreement between Vodafone and e&.Using the National Security & Investment Act it has put in place proportionate measures to address any potential national security concerns.
The UK is rightly a magnet for global investment and, in this spirit, the Act is entirely country-agnostic.
Where investment might impact the UKs national security - for example through the acquisition of certain technologies or infrastructure - we will work with investment partners to minimise any risk. As part of our Critical National Infrastructure, telecoms is one such sector. Vodafone is also a particularly important company for the UK Government given its critical functions, including as a key partner in HMGs Cyber Security Strategy.
