Superfast Broadband
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Olympics, Media and Sport, what recent progress he has made on his plans to ensure the UK has the best superfast broadband network in Europe.
- Answer
-
I have now approved 37 out of 43 local broadband plans—that is, almost 90% across the whole country—and nine are in procurement. A number of those are almost ready to begin delivery, and the other projects are being prepared for procurement with support from Broadband Delivery UK, which is also finalising details for the broadband delivery framework contract.
