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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, when the Government plans to achieve its goal of a minimum broadband speed of 10Mbps nationwide.

The Government has committed to putting in place a new broadband Universal Service Obligation (USO) by the end of this Parliament. We have made clear our ambition that access to fast broadband should be on a similar footing as other basic services, giving everyone a legal right to request a connection of 10Mbps.
