Proceeding contribution from Lord Hain (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 25 February 2010. It occurred during Debate on Welsh Affairs.

Welsh Affairs

Indeed we are committed to that. It is precisely to address the future needs of the Welsh economy that the Government want businesses and residents in the small towns of the kind that he and many of us represent to have access to fast, high-quality broadband. We have proposed the levy of 50p a month on telephone line rentals to fund that. I cannot give a time scale, but I am happy to write to the hon. Gentleman, especially if he lets my office know which specific areas he is talking about.
