Broadband Universal Service Obligation

Proceeding contribution from Ian Lucas (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 15 December 2016. It occurred during Backbench debate on Broadband Universal Service Obligation.

It is essential that we put the infrastructure in place that will deliver for the whole of the United Kingdom; that is the thrust of my speech.

I represent Wrexham. We have heard about rural areas that do not have access to broadband, but Wrexham is a manufacturing and exporting constituency that has many businesses and many modern technology parks around it. Many of those businesses have been telling me over the past few years that they have not been able to access the type of broadband services that are essential for modern businesses to be able to compete.
