Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment his Department has made of mobile telephone coverage in Cambridgeshire.
The Department does not directly monitor mobile coverage. Ofcom undertakes monitoring of mobile coverage and ensures compliance by the mobile network operators with any coverage obligations included in their spectrum licences. Ofcom's most recent coverage figures, published in December 2013, indicate that 99.8% of premises in Cambridgeshire receive signal from at least one mobile operator, and 89.6% from all four operators.
