	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/07/2016 answer text <p>The Government has implemented a basic broadband scheme to enable all premises to gain access to speeds of at least 2Mbps. This enables residents to gain access to every Government service available online. Funding for subsidised connections through the scheme is provided by Broadband Delivery UK (BDUK) as part of the government's superfast broadband programme. Consumers in eligible premises can access services from any of the suppliers who have been entered onto the scheme by BDUK.</p><p /> <p>In addition it is the Government's intention to implement a new broadband Universal Service Obligation. This will give people the legal right to request a broadband connection, no matter where they live, by the end of this Parliament. Our ambition is that this should initially be set at 10 Mbps.<br></p> answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed Mr Edward Vaizey question first answered 13/07/2016 09:23:57 answering member 1580 label Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot
