Superfast Broadband: Rural Communities

Proceeding contribution from Matt Hancock (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 21 February 2017. It occurred during Debate on Superfast Broadband: Rural Communities.

I do not want to point this out, but I have just commended the Labour Government in Wales for being further forward. I will come on to the universal service obligation, because more heat than light was produced by the hon. Gentleman’s contribution. We went through this at length during the Digital Economy Bill’s passage through the House, and in the end there was cross-party agreement regarding the universal service obligation, which will bring in 100% coverage by 2020—ahead, in fact, of the Scottish Government’s proposed date of 2021.
