Karen Bradley
I encourage my hon. Friend to contact me and the Minister of State, and we will make sure that we speak both to BT Openreach and to other service providers, to find out exactly that information.
Richard Burden (Birmingham, Northfield) (Lab)
Does the Secretary of State agree that the existence of not spots in urban areas is often the result of a combination of cock-ups, including commercial rivalries between companies, which are sometimes overlaid with developers taking their eye off the ball at the wrong time and local authorities not getting their act together? Whose responsibility is it to sort that out?
Karen Bradley
The hon. Gentleman has nailed some of the problems in urban areas, the Minister and I are working very hard to rectify them.
