  Business review: Relationship with the UK Government

The UK Government collectively is our largest customer, but the provision of services to any one department or agency of the UK Government does not comprise a material proportion of our revenues. Except as described below, the commercial relationship between BT as supplier and the UK Government as customer has been on a normal customer and supplier basis.

We can be required by law to do certain things and to provide certain services for the UK Government. The Licence obliges us to provide certain services for UK Government departments, such as priority repair of certain telephone lines. In addition, the Secretary of State has statutory powers to require us to take certain actions in the interests of national security, international relations and the detection of crime.
