Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Matt Warman and Jack Lopresti

Thursday 3rd October 2019 Commons Chamber

[Jack Lopresti (Filton and Bradley Stoke) (Con)]

A number of my constituents are stuck with a single broadband provider, which is in a monopoly position, so it is charging very high prices for very poor service. What steps are the Government taking to ensure greater competition, which will drive down prices and improve the service?

[Matt Warman]

We are acutely conscious that the best possible market is one driven by competition. As we take forward our huge investment to ensure a better connected country, one of our key long-term aspirations will be to develop greater competition.
