answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/02/2017 answer text <p>Improving mobile connectivity across the UK is a priority for the Government. The legally binding licence obligations arising from the December 2014 agreement require each Mobile Network Operator to provide voice/SMS text coverage to at least 90% of the UK’s landmass by end-2017. This locked in investment of £5 billion and is delivering improved coverage across the UK. Ofcom's 2016 Connected Nations Report shows that 99% of UK premises now have indoor voice coverage and 96% have indoor 4G data coverage. Our recent reforms to mobile planning laws and proposed reforms of the Electronic Communications Code, will support further investment and improvements in connectivity across the UK and reduce not spots.</p><p> </p><p>A competitive market in the UK has also benefitted consumers with the UK having one of the lowest prices in Europe for mobile connectivity.</p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matt Hancock question first answered 14/02/2017 14:18:23 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock
