answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/07/2021 answer text <p>My department published a consultation in January 2021 asking whether further reforms to the Electronic Communications Code are needed in order to ensure the Code provides the right legislative framework to promote fast, cost effective network provision across the UK. The consultation covered a range of issues, including matters relating to negotiations and dispute resolution, rights to upgrade and share apparatus and problems relating to the renewal of expired agreements.</p><p>This consultation closed on 24 March 2021. It would not be appropriate for me to comment on the possible outcomes of the consultation at this stage, as responses are being considered. The consultation response will be published in due course and we will bring legislation forward as soon as parliamentary time allows.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The Telecommunications Infrastructure (Leasehold Property) Act gained Royal Assent in March 2021. This Act aims to address one stated policy barrier: making it easier for telecoms companies to access multi-dwelling buildings (such as blocks of flats) where a tenant has requested a new connection, but the landlord has not responded to requests for access rights.</p><p>The Act inserts a new Part 4A to the Electronic Communication Code, which provides a process that telecommunications operators could use to gain code rights to multi-dwelling premises for a defined period. This only applies where:</p><ul><li><p>a lessee in occupation in a multi-dwelling building has requested a telecommunications service from an operator</p></li><li><p>to connect the property the telecoms operator requires an access agreement with another person such as the landlord</p></li><li><p>the landlord has not responded to the telecoms operator’s request for access</p></li></ul><p>My department has also recently launched a consultation, which seeks views on the terms that will accompany the interim Code rights provided to operators who have successfully applied for an order made under Part 4A of the Electronic Communications Code. This consultation closes on Wednesday 4 August. Responses will be considered and the consultation response will be published in due course.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Boston and Skegness answering member printed Matt Warman grouped question UIN 29013 question first answered 16/07/2021 10:49:35 answering member 4361 label Biography information for Matt Warman
