The justification is that the equipment presents a national security risk.

If that's true, how is it reasonable to allow this equipment to operate in the UK for 7 more years? Doesn't that mean the UK is willingly under national security risk for 7 years?

Unless, of course, there was never a security risk...

Our governments balance these concerns all the time: economic cost vs security risk. It's very normal.
