answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/11/2014 answer text <p>Mobile phone coverage is vital for rural businesses and households. 99% of premises already receive 2G coverage. However 21% of the UK’s landmass has coverage from only one or two mobile operators. This affects around 1.5 million people living in areas with patchy coverage, who not only receive a worse service than other consumers, but also have a limited choice of providers and packages. People travelling into these areas are also affected.</p><p>A consultation into tackling partial not-spots closed on 26 November. I am also in discussions with the mobile industry to agree a voluntary solution, which remains my preference.</p> answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed Mr Edward Vaizey question first answered 27/11/2014 11:59:28 answering member 1580 label Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot
