Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, whether her Department is on track to meet its target of ensuring 85 per cent of premises are gigabit capable by 2025.
Over 71 per cent of premises are now able to access gigabit-capable broadband, up from 6 per cent in January 2019.
We are on track to hit our target of 85 per cent gigabit coverage by 2025. We have published our delivery trajectory to reach our target and Building Digital UK (BDUK) publishes quarterly updates to demonstrate our progress towards this milestone.
