Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, if he will support Ofcom’s decision to include coverage obligations in future spectrum auctions for Scotland.
This question was answered on 21st June 2018
We welcome the proposed licence obligations set out in Ofcom's recent consultation on the 700MHz spectrum, including the proposed national requirements to deliver the greatest coverage uplift in the nations that have the lowest coverage. However, it is for Ofcom, as the independent spectrum regulator for the UK, to decide the final proposals and design of the auction.
