answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/11/2019 answer text <p>On 25 October 2019, the Government announced in-principle support for a Shared Rural Network (SRN) programme, which is a proposal from the Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) to collectively increase 4G mobile coverage throughout the United Kingdom to 95% by 2025, underpinned by a legally binding coverage commitment from each operator to have reached more than 92% by 2026. The Government’s in-principle support remains subject to detailed negotiations with the MNOs, but our ambition is to reach a formal agreement on the SRN in the coming months.</p><p> </p><p>The exact site deployment plans and timescales will be managed by the MNOs themselves in order for them to best deliver the agreed coverage outcomes. So until the operators’ final radio planning exercise is complete, neither the Government nor the operators will know the precise location or number of new or upgraded masts. However, the operators will be consulting with local communities as they do so. The MNOs’ intention is to deliver this programme by the end of 2025.</p> answering member constituency Boston and Skegness answering member printed Matt Warman question first answered 04/11/2019 11:11:35 answering member 4361 label Biography information for Matt Warman

The timeframe to introduce the new annual turnover limit is subject to the requirement for 1) the affirmative procedure of introducing secondary legislation and 2) the Gambling Commission to consult on changes to their Licence Conditions and Codes of Practice (LCCP). Taking these requirements into account we expect this change to come into force during 2020.
