question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is their estimate of the number of people in the UK who do not have access to superfast broadband.
tabling member printed	Lord Kennedy of Southwark
uin	HL1707
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/09/2016 answer text <p>We want everyone to have access to high speed broadband as part of our commitment to building a stronger, more connected economy that works for all.</p><p>Through the Government’s investment of over £780 million, superfast broadband is now available to 90% of homes and businesses in the UK, compared to less than half in 2010. By the end of 2017 it will be available to 95% of homes and businesses.</p><p>But we are determined to go further, and extra funding from clawback and efficiency savings in the local broadband contracts with BT will allow this coverage to be extended.</p><p>We are also committed to introducing a Universal Service Obligation for broadband through the Digital Economy Bill. Our ambition is to set the minimum speed at 10Mbps - enough to meet the needs of a typical family and many small businesses so no-one is left behind.</p> answering member printed Baroness Mobarik question first answered 22/09/2016 13:35:15 answering member 4335 label Biography information for Baroness Mobarik

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what actions they are taking to support local television services.
tabling member printed	Lord Kennedy of Southwark
uin	HL1708
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/09/2016 answer text <p>A total of 21 local television services have launched since November 2013 with a further 13 local services due come on air next year. The development of local television has been supported by up to £40m of ring-fenced funding under arrangements agreed with the BBC in 2011. Under these arrangements, the BBC will provide up to £25 million to cover the capital costs of building the local television transmission network and up to £15m for content funding from the BBC for each station's first three years on air.</p><p> </p><p>The draft Charter agreement published on 15 September included an extension to the content funding arrangements. This would ensure that all local television stations launching by 31 July 2017 and that wish to receive BBC support for their first three years on air will able to receive funding under these arrangements until March 2020.</p><p> </p><p>In addition to BBC funding, local television also benefits from having prominence on electronic programme guides (EPG) on Freeview and on other platforms and from certain exemptions to requirements in broadcasting legislation, such as having to source a proportion of their content from independent producers.</p> answering member printed Baroness Mobarik question first answered 22/09/2016 13:36:40 answering member 4335 label Biography information for Baroness Mobarik
