My Department consulted last year on proposals to ensure that all new build homes have gigabit-capable connectivity.</p><p> </p><p>In the Queen’s Speech the government committed to legislate to mandate the installation of gigabit capable connections in new build developments. This legislation would amend the Building Act 1984 so that Building Regulations require all new build developments to have the infrastructure to support gigabit-capable connections. It will also require developers to work with broadband companies, and to contribute financially, to install gigabit-capable connections in virtually all new build developments, up to a cost cap.</p> answering member constituency Boston and Skegness answering member printed Matt Warman grouped question UIN 7756 question first answered 05/11/2019 13:50:52 answering member 4361 label Biography information for Matt Warman
