Internet Providers

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will take steps to secure stricter performance and service quality targets from internet service companies providing a migration access code for those customers wishing to change internet providers.
Answer

The matter raised is the responsibility of the Regulator, the Office of Communications (Ofcom) which is accountable to Parliament rather than Ministers. Accordingly, I have asked the Chief Executive of Ofcom to reply directly to the hon. Member. Copies of the Chief Executive’s letter will be placed in the Libraries of the Houses.
