answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/12/2014 answer text <p>The Super Connected Cities Programme is funding the implementation of Wi-Fi in Public Buildings in many of the 22 Super Connected Cities. The cities chose whether to run Wi-Fi projects and which public buildings should be included. Participating cities run the procurement and contracting process themselves. Some cities, such as Newcastle, are in the process of appointing a contractor. Others, such as Bristol, chose to allocate their Super Connected Cities allocations to other projects. The cities take responsibility for ongoing management of the Wi-Fi services and running costs. We have not received any representations from Glasgow, Nottingham and Sheffield regarding provision of Wi-Fi services.</p> answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed Mr Edward Vaizey question first answered 16/12/2014 16:24:07 answering member 1580 label Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot
