UK Parliament's Defence Committee is to open an investigation into 5G and Huawei with a special focus on national security concerns.
The House of Commons committee, made up of MPs, wants to find out for itself whether or not Huawei poses a threat to national security, something that nobody has ever raised before and which is bound to uncover lots of new and original insights.
Previous Parliamentary committee inquiries into 5G and Huawei ended in farce as competing groups of MPs came up with differing answers to the Huawei question.
The Defence Committee was recently reappointed following December's general election.
It does not appear that any of Ellwood's parliamentary colleagues on the committee have any special knowledge of national security matters.
