Sir Alan Campbell
As my hon. Friend will know, we are working with telecom companies to reduce poor mobile signal, particularly in rural areas. We have announced the shared rural network deal, which aims to deliver 4G coverage to 95% of all UK landmass by the end of 2025. I am very sorry to hear of what is happening in his constituency. Should he seek a meeting with the relevant Minister to vent his frustrations, I will help him to arrange that.

My constituents in Thornton-Cleveleys have been shocked to learn that their homes are at high risk of contamination due to the presence of the forever chemical PFOA. Will the Leader of the House make time for a debate on the need to ensure that polluters pay for the clean-ups needed in cases like this?
Sir Alan Campbell
My hon. Friend raises a very concerning matter. We are working hard to minimise the harmful effects of forever chemicals. I will ensure that the relevant Minister hears her specific concerns and writes to her. Should she seek a meeting, I am happy to arrange that.
