answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/05/2021 answer text <p>The Government notes the CEBR report, commissioned by Openreach, which predicts a huge productivity boost from nationwide gigabit connectivity, suggesting a £59 billion boost to the UK’s Gross Value Added (GVA) by 2025. On the report’s suggestion that 270,000 people could move from urban to more rural areas as a result of changing attitudes towards home working, the Government recognises the importance of strong digital connectivity in rural areas. That is why it is investing £5bn to ensure those living in hard-to-reach areas get gigabit connectivity.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is providing 100 per cent business rates relief for new full-fibre infrastructure for a five-year period from 1 April 2017. Telecoms providers are also significant beneficiaries of the £3.6 billion transitional relief scheme. A fundamental review of business rates was announced by the Chancellor at last year’s Budget. A call for evidence was published in July 2020 to seek stakeholders’ views on all elements of the business rates system including reliefs, and the Government is currently considering its responses. The final report will be published in the Autumn.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 27/05/2021 14:29:35 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
