Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what additional funding his Department is making available to ensure that the remaining 10 per cent of premises get superfast broadband access.
The Government has allocated £250m funding to increase superfast broadband from 90 per cent to 95 per cent of premises by 2017, with local match funding, as part of phase 2 of the Superfast Broadband programme. The Government has also created a £10 million fund to invest in pilot projects to explore options for delivery to the remaining premises.
