answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/09/2017 answer text <p>The current Phase 1 superfast broadband project covering the 'Rest of Scotland' (excluding the Highlands &amp; Islands) had provided superfast broadband coverage to 500,000 premises by the end of June 2017 and this is scheduled to increase to 572,000 by the end of the contract in December 2018. Superfast coverage for Dumfries and Galloway is expected to reach approximately 82% of premises as a result. Further superfast broadband delivery in Dumfries and Galloway is dependent on the Scottish Government procuring a second broadband contract. The government allocated £20.99 million to support a second contract in February 2014, but the Scottish Government has yet to begin a procurement, and will be the last area in the UK to do so.</p><p> </p><p>For premises not covered by superfast broadband, the UK government will ensure universal broadband coverage of at least 10Mbps.</p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matt Hancock question first answered 19/09/2017 14:11:27 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock

tabling member constituency	North East Hampshire
tabling member printed	Mr Ranil Jayawardena
uin	9930
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/10/2017 answer text <p>The roll out of publicly funded superfast broadband in Hampshire is ongoing. Currently over 92% of premises have access to superfast broadband. Current contracts will ensure that superfast broadband services will be available to more than 97% of premises by 2019. For premises not covered by superfast broadband, the Government will ensure universal broadband access of at least 10Mbps by 2020, so that no home or business is left behind. We are currently considering two options for delivering this: a regulatory USO and a voluntary offer from BT and Openreach. A consultation on the design of the regulatory USO was published on 30 July and closes on 9 October. A decision on which route offers the best deal for consumers will be taken once we have considered the responses to the regulatory USO consultation.</p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matt Hancock question first answered 04/10/2017 12:29:07 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock
