(asked on 11th September 2017) - View Source
Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what recent discussions she has had with Welsh Government Ministers on testing full-fibre broadband in Wales.
This question was answered on 19th September 2017
We engage regularly with counterparts from the Wales Office and Welsh Government throughout 2017 on the Local Full Fibre Networks programme, and will continue to do so.
In July, we wrote to all local authority leaders, including across Wales, to highlight the upcoming Challenge Fund stage of the programme and invite Expressions of Interest. We received a tremendous response from across the UK, including from Wales.
