answer text <p>The Government is clear that racism has no place in cricket, sport, or society at large.We were extremely concerned by the reports of racism at Yorkshire County Cricket Club and in the sport generally that emerged last year. We welcome the steps taken so far by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and the chair of the Yorkshire County Cricket Club, Lord Patel, to address these issues. This includes the publication of a sport-wide 12 point action plan, against which the ECB regularly releases progress updates, and the launch of the Independent Commission for Equity in Cricket.</p><p>The Government expects to see clear and sustained evidence of cultural change across the sport resulting from these actions. We will continue to directly hold the ECB to account on this, and reserve the right to take further measures if progress is not made.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>Since 2019, we have connected 6,600 public sector buildings and assets through our Local Full Fibre Network, Rural Gigabit Connectivity, and GigaHubs programmes. Our delivery figures are updated in Building Digital UK's quarterly Project Gigabit progress updates and will be confirmed in its 2023 Performance Report. We are considering how and where to publish further hub details.</p><p>As part of Project Gigabit, the government has made up to £110 million available to connect up to 7,000 rural public buildings such as schools, GP surgeries and libraries. Each hub is expected to result in at least one premises passed by a gigabit-capable connection - this is a conservative assumption as hubs are intended to stimulate local build from suppliers.</p><p>In June 2022, we announced a joint £82 million investment with the Department for Education (DfE) to connect up to 3,000 primary schools with gigabit broadband over the next three years.</p> more like this
