<p>I am pleased that 89 percent of premises in the Kettering constituency and 85 percent
of premises in North Northamptonshire can access gigabit-capable broadband. To improve
this further, we have launched a £52 million procurement as part of Project Gigabit,
to deliver gigabit-capable connections to rural premises across Northamptonshire,
Bedfordshire and Milton Keynes. We aim to award a contract to the successful supplier
by the end of this year. In April, we published a 10-point action plan to improve
rural connectivity. We are already delivering on that plan through the appointment
of Simon Fell MP as Rural Connectivity Champion.</p>
