question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, how many premises in Inverclyde constituency are able to receive superfast broadband services through BDUK-supported projects in 2017; and what the amount of funding her Department has made available for such projects in Inverclyde constituency during that year.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/09/2017 answer text <p>Approximately 38,000 premises in Inverclyde (96% of the total) are able to receive superfast broadband services. To the end of March 2017, 5,581 premises in the constituency had gained superfast broadband coverage thanks to connectivity subsidised by the UK Government. The department does not hold constituency-level financial data. The UK Government has contributed £95 million to support broadband rollout to over 630,000 premises in Scotland. In February 2014 the UK Government committed a further £20.99 million to support a second project in Scotland. The Scottish Government has not yet managed to start procurement of this second project, despite similar projects already being up and running in most other parts of the UK. We have offered technical assistance to the Scottish Government to try to help them catch up.</p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matt Hancock question first answered 07/09/2017 17:11:49 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock
