Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Addington (Liberal Democrat). It was answered on Tuesday, 13 May 2014.


Broadband and Mobile Coverage

Question

My Lords, does my noble friend agree that it is virtually impossible to function without broadband? Can he give me an example of how people are supposed to cope until this situation is corrected?

Answer

My Lords, my noble friend raises an important point. Clearly, we are in part of the technological revolution and the Government wish to go digital, but it is certainly important that those who do not have the facility are still able to conduct business in a traditional way. As I say, it is important to improve delivery wherever we can.
