	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/07/2017 answer text <p>The Libraries Taskforce’s strategy document, Libraries Deliver: Ambition for Public Libraries in England 2016 to 2021, sets out a bold and dynamic vision of how library services in England can help transform lives, communities and society as a whole. This includes more people, including children, benefitting from the range of services provided by libraries. Examples of initiatives to encourage increased access by children to libraries include a voluntary scheme introduced by Hampshire County Council that provides parents with the opportunity to sign up their new born babies to their library at the time of registering their birth. The Summer Reading Challenge which promotes reading for children at their local library has resulted in many thousands of children aged 4 – 11 joining a library.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 17/07/2017 15:14:25 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen

Altnet providers, such as WarwickNet, are already using PIA to connect customers on much shorter timescales than previously.</p><p> </p><p>In the consultation, Ofcom outlined how the planning and deployment of fibre infrastructure using PIA should be improved. Openreach is already providing telecoms providers with better network information, with its PIA Digital Mapping Tool, and streamlining operational processes.</p><p> </p><p>Ofcom also proposed capping Openreach’s rental charges for PIA access and redistributing the costs of changes to the network across all users. These proposals would make it cheaper for other telecoms providers to deploy fibre using Openreach’s duct and pole infrastructure.</p><p> </p><p>Ofcom will set out more detail on these proposals later in the summer.</p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matt Hancock question first answered 18/07/2017 10:08:28 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock
