Broadband: Street Cabinets

Lord Tomlinson Excerpts

Monday 22nd October 2012 Lords Chamber

[Viscount Younger of Leckie]

I thank my noble friend. There is every hope that the cabinets will be discreetly sited and will not impact on localities too much.

[Lord Tomlinson]

My Lords, does the noble Viscount accept that, however discreetly they are sited, they seem to be an open invitation to every bill poster who passes them?

[Viscount Younger of Leckie]

I am not aware of that. I am sure that occasionally there may unfortunately be graffiti or otherwise, but let us hope not. We need to find ways around that.
