answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/12/2014 answer text <p>The Super Connected Cities Programme is funding the implementation of Wi-Fi in Public Buildings in many of the 22 Super Connected Cities. The cities chose whether to run Wi-Fi projects and which public buildings should be included. Participating cities run the procurement and contracting process themselves. Some cities, such as Newcastle, are in the process of appointing a contractor. Others, such as Bristol, chose to allocate their Super Connected Cities allocations to other projects. The cities take responsibility for ongoing management of the Wi-Fi services and running costs. We have not received any representations from Glasgow, Nottingham and Sheffield regarding provision of Wi-Fi services.</p> answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed Mr Edward Vaizey question first answered 16/12/2014 16:24:07 answering member 1580 label Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot

In this report, the Law Commission concluded that the existing market based approach to valuation was on the whole, functioning, but recommended some small modifications to improve the valuation regime. Government accepts this recommendation and will implement this reform. However, Government will also take a Power in the legislation, to allow the Secretary of State to make further changes to the wayleave valuation regime, if necessary following consultation, at a later date following full consultation. Government intends to lay amendments to the Infrastructure Bill.</p> answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed Mr Edward Vaizey question first answered 06/01/2015 08:34:46 answering member 1580 label Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot
