tabling member constituency	Hendon
tabling member printed	Dr Matthew Offord
uin	187338
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/11/2018 answer text <p>The Government published its Future Telecoms Infrastructure Review (FTIR) in July 2018, setting out its strategy for delivering its target for a nationwide full fibre broadband network by 2033. On 29 October, DCMS published two of the consultations promised in the FTIR, on new legislation to reform existing access agreement arrangements to provide a right of entry for communication providers in cases of absentee landlords, and to ensure full fibre connections to new build developments. At Budget, the Government also announced £200m from the National Productivity Investment Fund (NPIF) to further support the deployment of full fibre to the commercially most difficult to reach premises. In its October Connected Nations report, Ofcom confirmed that full fibre coverage had reached 1.4 million premises in May 2018, up from less than 900,000 premises in May 2017. Commitments to full fibre rollout from industry have also continued, for example with CityFibre recently announcing a £2.5 billion investment plan to expand its full fibre network to 5 million homes.</p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 12/11/2018 16:02:14 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/11/2018 answer text <p>Ministers have regular meetings with stakeholders in football to discuss a number of topics, and as with all sports, we encourage organisations who benefit from gambling advertising or sponsorship, including football clubs, to look at how they can contribute to raising awareness of the potential risks associated. Gambling logos are already banned on under-18 team shirts and last year the Football Association voluntarily decided to end its sponsorship partnerships with betting companies to avoid conflict with its role in enforcing rules on betting rules.</p> answering member constituency Kenilworth and Southam answering member printed Jeremy Wright question first answered 07/11/2018 09:57:51 answering member 1560 label Biography information for Sir Jeremy Wright
