Security of connected devices, the system they operate in and data is very important to consider in the Internet of Things. That is why security will be a theme throughout the government funded Internet of Things programme (IoTUK). We have included £10m for additional research to design in security, privacy and trust in IoT-related systems. In his report on the Internet of Things the Government Chief Scientist advised that security should be considered at the beginning and throughout the life cycle of Internet of Things applications. We have therefore made security a specific part of the competition scope for the large-scale demonstrator competitions.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1580", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Wantage"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mr Edward Vaizey"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2015-09-16", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2015-09-16T14:07:30.813Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "10"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Culture, Media and Sport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Culture, Media and Sport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2015-09-11", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Internet"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment he has made of the security of devices connected to the Internet of Things.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4124", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Chi Onwurah"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Newcastle upon Tyne Central"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Chi Onwurah"} ], "uin" : "10009"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/418406", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Culture, Media and Sport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/418406/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Current superfast broadband coverage is over 83% of UK premises and the Government remains committed to providing 95% coverage to homes and businesses by December 2017. Coverage of superfast broadband in England is 84% according to Ofcom\u2019s Communications Market Report published in August 2015. The report can be found at: http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/binaries/research/cmr/cmr15/CMR_UK_2015.pdf<\/a><\/p>


The Government has invested £9.69 million in the Northumberland project which aims to provide superfast broadband coverage to over 46,000 homes and businesses in the county. By the end of the Northumberland project, anticipated by December 2016, over 91% of premises are expected to have access to superfast broadband.

The Government is considering whether to implement a broadband Universal Service Obligation (USO) as one of a range of options for reaching the final 5% of the UK population who do not have access to broadband in order to ensure that no one gets left behind. No decisions have been taken at this stage.<\/p>

<\/p>

Any broadband USO would have to comply with the European Universal Service Directive. The Directive does not specify a speed other than to indicate that it should be set at a level that is available to and used by the majority.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1580", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Wantage"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mr Edward Vaizey"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2015-09-16", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : {"_value" : "10003"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2015-09-16T14:13:17.677Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "10"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Culture, Media and Sport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Culture, Media and Sport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2015-09-11", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Broadband"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what plans he has to introduce a universal service obligation for superfast broadband coverage; and if he will make a statement.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4531", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Anne-Marie Trevelyan"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Berwick-upon-Tweed"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mrs Anne-Marie Trevelyan"} ], "uin" : "10002"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/418236", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Culture, Media and Sport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/418236/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The government is committed to ensuring that the UK has the digital communications infrastructure that businesses need to grow and thrive. For some this will mean fibre to the premise, for others this will be fibre to the cabinet, with the final customer connection over copper or coaxial cable. Some businesses may opt to use wireless services.<\/p>

The Government\u2019s role is to facilitate private investment in infrastructure, to provide policy stability, and to support the market, providing targeted financial support as necessary.<\/p>

Through the Government\u2019s investment of over £780 million, superfast broadband is now available to over 80% of homes and businesses in the UK, compared to 45% in 2010. By the end of 2017 it will be available to 95% of homes and businesses. The Government has already dedicated £40 million this year to SME connectivity in 50 cities and their surrounding areas. The scheme is going well, with over £28 million committed so far. Over 40,000 vouchers being issued since the scheme launched in December 2013. On average firms are getting ten times faster broadband as a result of their improved connection, and almost 750,000 workers will benefit from better broadband in the workplace.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1580", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Wantage"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mr Edward Vaizey"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2015-09-15", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2015-09-15T16:01:24.83Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "10"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Culture, Media and Sport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Culture, Media and Sport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2015-09-10", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Broadband: Business"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what steps his Department is taking to support the roll-out of fibre to the premises broadband to businesses.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4124", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Chi Onwurah"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Newcastle upon Tyne Central"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Chi Onwurah"} ], "uin" : "9926"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/418283", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Culture, Media and Sport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/418283/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Government\u2019s long-term economic plan seeks to rebalance growth across the UK, and build a Northern Powerhouse. Investing in digital and innovation, science, technology, transport, culture and tourism, alongside devolving power gives the North a powerful new voice, investment and decision-making powers.<\/p>

<\/p>

Better, faster fixed and mobile broadband drives economic growth, innovation and excellence, enhances national competitiveness, and underpins the government\u2019s long-term economic plan.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government has committed over £131 million to provide superfast broadband for nearly 1 million premises in the North of England broadband project areas.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government is supporting Tech North, which will help develop and champion the digital economy. This month Tech North launched Northern Stars to showcase and support digital start-ups. The Department of Culture Media and Sport is providing £2 million per year funding for Tech North. Capital spending is also planned on tech business incubators in Manchester, Leeds and Sheffield.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government is supporting new opportunities that digital technologies are unlocking, such as the sharing economy. There will be pilots in Leeds and Manchester to trial local sharing initiatives, for example in transport, public space, and health and social care.<\/p>

<\/p>

Companies in the North have also benefited from the availability of connection vouchers of up to £3,000 to upgrade their broadband connectivity.<\/p>
