(asked on 3rd February 2015) - View Source
Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what estimate he has made of when free WiFi will be provided in all public libraries; how many and what proportion of libraries currently have free WiFi; and what information he holds on the average cost to libraries of providing free WiFi.
This question was answered on 11th February 2015
The DCMS has not made any estimate of when free Wi-Fi will be provided in all public libraries. Current desktop research indicates that up to 2000 public libraries (two-thirds) already have Wi-Fi. I refer the Hon. Member to the answer I gave on 14 January 2015 to PQ 220293.
