<p>This Government is investing record amounts to level up digital infrastructure
across the UK. We are already connecting some of the hardest to reach places in the
country, through our Superfast broadband programme and £200 million Rural Gigabit
Connectivity programme. In addition, we have pledged a further £5bn to ensure no part
of the country is left behind.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Our aim is for nationwide
coverage of gigabit-capable networks, including full fibre, as soon as possible. Much
progress has already been made by the Government, working with the telecoms industry,
to support network rollout and deployment is starting to increase at pace. For example,
we have introduced the Telecommunications Infrastructure (Leasehold Property) Bill
into Parliament, which will make it easier for network builders to access blocks of
flats where there is an absent or unresponsive landlord.</p><p> </p>
