answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/09/2022 answer text <p>As part of our Open Market Review and Public Review processes for Project Gigabit we ask broadband suppliers to submit build plans containing their current coverage and/or future build intentions. Building Digital UK (BDUK) encourages suppliers to provide as much information as possible in support of their claims and plans, with each submission assessed on its own merits.</p><p>Since the first BDUK-led Open Market Review was launched in March 2021, eight build plans have been assessed as credible in full by BDUK. A further 143 build plans have been partially assessed as credible, and 64 build plans have been assessed as not currently credible in full or in part.</p><p>As of 2 September 2022, 52 operator build plans are in the process of being assessed.</p><p>BDUK reassesses suppliers’ build plans on a regular basis through our National Rolling Open Market Review. This ensures that we have the most up to date information about these suppliers’ existing and planned build which we use to continuously inform where subsidy is likely to be needed to deliver gigabit-capable broadband to hard-to-reach areas.</p> answering member constituency Hornchurch and Upminster answering member printed Julia Lopez grouped question UIN 45201 45227 question first answered 20/09/2022 08:37:25 answering member 4647 label Biography information for Julia Lopez

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/03/2022 answer text <p>Over 97 per cent of UK premises now have access to superfast broadband with speeds of more than 30Mbps as a result of commercial delivery and coverage provided through the Government’s Superfast Broadband Programme. The most recent evaluation of this programme can be seen <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/superfast-broadband-programme-synthesis-and-process-evaluation-reports-2021" target="_blank">here</a>.</p><p>Gigabit broadband coverage has increased from 6 per cent to 66 per cent of premises over the last three years. Through Project Gigabit, the Government aims to ensure at least 85 per cent of premises have gigabit coverage by 2025, with near-universal coverage being achieved as soon as possible thereafter. Over 600,000 premises which previously had sub-superfast speeds or which are outside the scope of commercial plans have already received gigabit coverage as a result of programmes managed by Building Digital UK. The Government’s most recent update on its further delivery plans for Project Gigabit is set out in the <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/project-gigabit-delivery-plan-winter-update" target="_blank">Project Gigabit Winter Update</a>. Further reports on progress with delivery will be published quarterly. Building Digital UK will also publish results of evaluations of Project Gigabit as these become available.</p> answering member constituency Hornchurch and Upminster answering member printed Julia Lopez question first answered 17/03/2022 08:23:45 answering member 4647 label Biography information for Julia Lopez
