Telecommunications

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, with reference to the Digital communications infrastructure strategy, published on 18 March 2015, when the Government will review progress against its ultrafast ambition; when he plans to publish that review; whether that review will be carried out independently; what that review will cover; and how much has been budgeted for that review.

Answer

To ensure the UK keeps up with the rapid pace of change, the government will review progress against our ultrafast ambition annually, including a formal review in 2018 when the current investment in superfast broadband and roll out of 4G networks will be completed. We will ensure that the review is resourced and carried out appropriately.
