However, Government will also take a Power in the legislation, to allow the Secretary of State to make further changes to the wayleave valuation regime, if necessary following consultation, at a later date following full consultation.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/01/2015 answer text Since 2010 the government has committed £780 million to bringing Britain into the digital superfast lane. The rollout of superfast broadband will reach 95% of the UK by 2017 because of our investment and the match funding it has leveraged. In addition to rolling out superfast to 95% we are exploring ways to go beyond this through a series of pilot schemes; and we are extending our successful Connection Voucher Scheme which helps businesses with broadband connection costs. Currently available in the 22 Super Connected Cities, the Connection Voucher scheme will be extended to more cities in 2015. answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed Mr Edward Vaizey question first answered 06/01/2015 11:35:15 answering member 1580 label Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot
