star this property answer text <p>The UK has good digital connectivity to meet the needs of today’s consumers. This includes G.fast technology, which is used by Openreach to deliver ultrafast speeds of more than 100 Mbps, using their existing part-copper infrastructure.</p><p> </p><p>However, the Government is clear that demand for faster, more reliable and resilient broadband will rise and that the UK needs to increase the number of full fibre connections to deliver a nationwide gigabit capable broadband network by 2033. Our Future Telecoms Infrastructure Review (FTIR), published in July 2018, set out a strategy for delivering that ambition. This includes direct investment into full fibre through the £190 million Local Full Fibre Networks (LFFN) Challenge Fund and the £67 million Gigabit Voucher Scheme. At Budget, the Chancellor announced a further £200 million from the National Productivity Investment Fund (NPIF) to pilot innovative approaches to deploying full fibre in rural areas.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is also working to improve mobile broadband. We are committed to extending geographic coverage to 95% of the UK by 2022, and to becoming a world leader in 5G, with the majority of the population covered by a 5G signal by 2027. As part of this, Government is investing £200 million in a 5G Testbeds and Trials programme.</p>

star this property answer text <p>Pension scams can have significant and devastating impacts on people’s lives. Scams can leave people to face retirement with a greatly reduced income, unable to build their pension savings back up. As well as being a nuisance, cold calling is the most common method used to initiate pension fraud. This is why the Government has taken a number of measures to tackle nuisance calls in general and ban pensions cold calling in particular.</p><p> </p><p>On Monday 17 December new powers enabling company directors to be held personally liable for the nuisance calls their company makes came into force.</p><p> </p><p>The Government ran a technical consultation over the summer on regulations to ban pensions cold calling and published the consultation response as a supplementary document to Budget 2018. The regulations to ban pensions cold calling were laid in Parliament on 1 November and will come into force early in the new year.</p><p> </p><p>However, the Government is aware that more needs to be done to truly eradicate this problem, and continues to work with regulators and industry to put a stop to these calls.</p>
