Written question asked by David Pinto-Duschinsky (Labour) on Tuesday, 10 December 2024, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Thursday, 12 December 2024. It was answered by Chris Bryant (Labour) on Wednesday, 18 December 2024 on behalf of the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology.
Broadband and Internet: Hendon
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, whether his Department plans to take steps with industry to help improve (a) broadband and (b) other internet speed in Hendon.
- Answer
-
According to the independent website Thinkbroadband.com, over 99% of premises in the Hendon constituency can already access superfast broadband speeds (>=30 Mbps), and over 75% of premises can access a gigabit-capable broadband connection.
We anticipate that the majority of the premises in urban areas such as Hendon will receive a gigabit-capable connection through the commercial market, although we are conscious that connections to some properties in some areas can be affected by complex wayleave negotiations. Any remaining premises will be considered for support through the government’s Project Gigabit.
