Proceeding contribution from Lembit Opik (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 25 February 2010. It occurred during Debate on Welsh Affairs.


Welsh Affairs

On broadband, I am heartened by the Government's apparent commitment to address "not spots". Many of my constituents live in such areas, so will he say when they can expect to be connected to broadband? At present, they can do that by satellite, but there are some technical limitations to what they can get by that means, which is also tremendously expensive. They will be very encouraged if they can get an assurance that the Government are truly committed to funding the arrival of broadband, especially in small towns and villages such as Darowen and Staylittle.
