answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/01/2015 answer text <p>For the areas to be covered by the Government's phase 1 Superfast Broadband Programme, we estimate that up to a further £120m will be generated for investment in further coverage for every 10 percentage point increase on the programme's 20% take-up baseline. The quicker people take up services in the areas delivered with public funding, the quicker funding is returned for reinvestment by the supplier; we therefore launched an £8 million national marketing campaign to raise awareness. The budget for the campaign was based on evidence of previous government campaigns to reach the optimum amount of our target audience.</p> answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed Mr Edward Vaizey question first answered 19/01/2015 08:49:54 answering member 1580 label Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot
