answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/05/2016 answer text <p>The government intends to update legislation to allow clearer and more flexible payment schemes, especially for those facing difficulty in paying the licence fee. This will enable the BBC to trial alternative payment plans, including removing the requirement for individuals to pay the cost of a 12-month licence over six months. This would help those who struggle to make higher initial payments.</p> answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed Mr Edward Vaizey question first answered 26/05/2016 12:18:41 answering member 1580 label Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what estimate he has made of the savings to his Department's budget arising from the Government's decision not to automatically roll-out broadband to all households and businesses.
tabling member constituency	Garston and Halewood
tabling member printed	Maria Eagle
uin	37981
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/05/2016 answer text <p>The Government's plans to implement a broadband Universal Service Obligation will have no impact on the Department's budget for the roll out of superfast broadband. The contracts we have put in place with Openreach mean that the more homes and businesses that sign up for superfast broadband, the more money Openreach has to return to local authorities to extend the roll out even further. So far, Openreach has confirmed more than £200 million of savings that can be reinvested, over and above the £1.7bn of public funding already allocated, and we expect more funding to be confirmed in due course. We will be reinvesting that funding to extend superfast broadband to as many additional rural homes and businesses as possible.</p> answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed Mr Edward Vaizey question first answered 26/05/2016 12:12:39 answering member 1580 label Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot
