LONDON, May 29 (Reuters) - Britain set out in January that
it was seeking entrants into the market for 5G
telecommunications and that London is speaking to allies about
it such as the United States, a spokesman for Prime Minister
Boris Johnson said on Friday. 
    "We set out in January that we were seeking new entrants
into the market in order to diversify, and that is something we
have been speaking with our allies about including the United
States," the spokesman said.
    Britain is also looking at any impact new U.S. sanctions on
Huawei might have.
