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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, how many English phase 2 project areas participating in the Superfast Broadband Rollout programme have produced coverage maps of their broadband implementation plan at a full 7-digit postcode.

Eight phase 2 projects have agreed contracts. Of these, six are in areas which have maps and postcode checkers showing phase 1 coverage. For these projects, the phase 2 coverage is not yet confirmed. Two are new projects where survey and planning work is currently under way and maps have not yet been published. In addition the Government has now made available a national post code checker so that consumers can check on the availability of services at the location.
