Proceeding contribution from Ben Bradshaw (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 24 June 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Local Media.


Local Media

Before the Minister moves off broadband, I thought that it might be helpful if I provided him with his own definition of "super-fast", which was""broadband of sufficient speed and quality to deliver the services that will lead to Britain having the best broadband network in ""Europe. The technology used to deliver this could be fixed or wireless but will represent a significant upgrade on today's fixed and wireless networks. —[Official Report, 17 June 2010; Vol. 511, c. 533W.]" I hope that that is helpful to hon. Members. It will make it unnecessary for the hon. Gentleman to write to everyone after the debate. The Chancellor used the figure of 100 megabits per second in his interview with Andrew Marr during the election campaign.
