answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/04/2024 answer text <p>Government continues to work closely with Ofcom on the affordability of telecoms services, including on social tariffs.</p><p> </p><p>Ofcom’s December 2023 Pricing Trends report showed that 380,000 UK households now take up a social tariff, an almost 160% increase from September 2022.</p><p> </p><p>The report also notes that the majority of social tariff take-up is in the fixed broadband market, with only 3% of social tariff take-up in mobile. Ofcom noted that the lower take up of mobile social tariffs is most likely due to the fact that these products are new to the market, as well as the widespread availability of commercial ‘sim-only’ deals which can be purchased for as little as £6 per month.</p> answering member constituency Hornchurch and Upminster answering member printed Julia Lopez question first answered 23/04/2024 10:35:27 answering member 4647 label Biography information for Julia Lopez
