Broadband: Rural Areas
- Question
- To ask the Minister of State, Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (1) what recent estimate he has made of the number of people living in remote rural areas of (a) the Vale of York, (b) North Yorkshire and (c) England who have access to broadband.
- Answer
-
The matter raised is the responsibility of the independent 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 House.
