Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Simon Baynes and Julia Lopez

Wednesday 22nd May 2024 Commons Chamber

[Simon Baynes (Clwyd South) (Con)]

T3. In recent years, Government policies led by the Minister for Data and Digital Infrastructure have resulted in a big improvement in broadband and mobile connectivity on the Welsh borders, both in my constituency of Clwyd South and across the border in neighbouring North Shropshire, but there are still some poor areas of connectivity. Could the Minister outline what further steps she is taking to ensure that all homes and businesses on both sides of the Welsh border see better broadband and mobile connectivity?

[The Minister for Data and Digital Infrastructure (Julia Lopez)]

I thank my hon. Friend for his brilliant work on connectivity in the border areas—[Applause.]
