The Government’s ambition is to ensure that the UK has the right infrastructure to meet the needs of business and consumers and enable the UK to remain a leading digital nation. We welcome Ofcom’s determination to tackle these issues and agree with the Regulator’s view that the current relationship between BT and Openreach will not deliver the country’s needs for more competition, better innovation and better service. Our belief is that Ofcom should be firmly focused on taking whatever action is needed to correct the competition problems identified, however radical a change that might be.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed Mr Edward Vaizey question first answered 08/06/2016 13:00:33 answering member 1580 label Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot
