answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2017 answer text <p>The Government supports the principle of facilitating a Gaining Provider Led (GPL) switching process covering the communications markets, because the process should be led by the organisation with the most interest in making the switch work effectively for the benefit of consumers, the gaining provider. A GPL switching process is already in place for consumers who switch their fixed landline telephone provider across the Openreach network, which covers the vast majority of phone lines within in the UK, taking up to ten working days. The Government is committed to continuing to reduce the potential barriers that may prevent some consumers from deciding to switch, which is why we have ensured that the Digital Economy Act 2017, made explicit Ofcom's power to set general conditions for switching within the communications markets.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matt Hancock question first answered 11/09/2017 08:10:13 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock
