answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/10/2016 answer text <p>The Government is making a significant contribution to broadband provision across the UK, and the superfast broadband projects that are under way in the devolved nations will deliver superfast coverage to nearly 700,000 premises in Scotland, 650,000 in Wales and 40,000 in Northern Ireland. These form an important part of achieving 95% superfast coverage across the UK by December 2017. The project in Northern Ireland adds to the previous roll-out.</p><p> </p><p>These projects will also benefit from clawback funding from suppliers as a result of take-up going above the initial expected levels, which will be available for reinvestment in additional superfast broadband coverage. New procurements are under way in each of the nations using this funding which will further increase superfast coverage.</p><p> </p><p>In addition the government is introducing a Universal Service Obligation in the Digital Economy Bill, which will give the right to consumers to request a broadband service; our aim is currently to set this at 10Mbps.</p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matt Hancock question first answered 27/10/2016 11:59:53 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock
