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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, with reference to the Digital communications infrastructure strategy, published on 18 March 2015, when he plans to bring forward legislative proposals to reform the Electronic Communications Code.

The Department received a total of 153 responses to the consultation launched in February 2015 on the reform of the Electronic Communications Code, my officials are currently analysing these responses and I will respond to Parliament in due course. Government remains committed to delivering a reformed Code that is clear, fit for the purpose of rolling out modern electronic communications apparatus, and supports a UK network that provides consumers with a choice of high quality telecommunications services.
