Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, how many 5G masts have been installed on residential properties in each of the last two years.

5G network rollout and the management of masts, mobile sites and network infrastructure is a matter for the mobile network operators (MNOs), and this information is not held by the government.

However, local authorities must grant planning permission for building masts and therefore some local authorities keep mast site registers which may contain installation information.

When deploying masts, the MNOs will consider consumer demand and how any mobile site fits with their network deployment plans.
