Broadband: South West Hertfordshire
Monday 10th January 2022

Asked by: Gagan Mohindra (Conservative - South West Hertfordshire)

Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what steps her Department is taking to support the rollout of superfast fibre broadband in South West Hertfordshire constituency.

Answered by Julia Lopez - Shadow Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology

Over 98% of premises in South West Hertfordshire can access superfast speeds (>=30Mbps). This compares with a UK average of 97%, and includes coverage provided by the Connected Counties superfast broadband project as part of the government’s Superfast Broadband Programme, which provided superfast access to over 50,000 premises in Hertfordshire.

The Government is now investing £5 billion through Project Gigabit to support gigabit broadband coverage at the same time as commercial rollout so that rural communities are not left behind. The regional supplier procurement for Hertfordshire, along with Buckinghamshire and the East of Berkshire, is scheduled to commence between May and July 2022, with a contract commencement date of April - June 2023.

67 premises in Hertfordshire have also gained gigabit coverage through the Gigabit Broadband Voucher Scheme (GBVS), which helps communities and businesses in rural areas not in line for commercial rollout or other government-funded projects to get more immediate help with the costs of installing gigabit broadband. A further 147 premises are awaiting connection, giving a combined total value of £440,445.

Broadband
Thursday 9th July 2020

Asked by: Gagan Mohindra (Conservative - South West Hertfordshire)

Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

What steps his Department is taking to expand the availability of gigabit-capable broadband throughout the UK.

Answered by Matt Warman

We are investing £5 billion to ensure gigabit-capable broadband is delivered for residents in those hardest to reach parts of the country.

Alongside this £5 billion, we are also removing barriers to make it quicker, easier and cheaper to deploy new gigabit-capable broadband networks across the country.

For example, we have introduced legislation to make it easier for operators to deploy broadband in blocks of flats and will be legislating to mandate gigabit connectivity in new homes.
