Written question asked by Liz Saville Roberts (Plaid Cymru) on Thursday, 26 October 2017, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Monday, 30 October 2017. It was answered by Nick Hurd (Conservative) on Thursday, 2 November 2017 on behalf of the Home Office.


Emergency Services Network: North Wales

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what proportion of the North Wales Police Force area is covered by the EE core network; and what proportion will be covered by the Extended Area Services.

Answer

Roll out of ESN is still underway in North Wales and the rest of Great Britain, both in the EE Primary Area and the Extended Area. As such, proportions of coverage provided by each area are subject to change.

Based on the current forecast coverage predications for Network rollout on Major and Minor roads, we anticipate that in the North Wales Police area, up to 89% will be provided by EE in the primary area, and up to a further 11% provided in the EAS area.
