LONDON: British Prime Minister
Theresa May on Wednesday sacked Defence Secretary
Gavin Williamson following a probe into the leak of news that Britain had conditionally allowed China's
Huawei to develop the UK
5G network.
"The Prime Minister has this evening asked Gavin Williamson to leave the government, having lost confidence in his ability to serve in the role of Defence Secretary and as a member of her Cabinet," said a spokeswoman from her
Downing Street office.
