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

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, how many and what proportion of (a) homes and (b) premises in each parliamentary constituency in Cumbria have access to superfast broadband.

The Department does not distinguish between homes and businesses. According to Thinkbroadband currently 92.6% of premises in Cumbria have access to superfast speeds (http://labs.thinkbroadband.com/local/cumbria,E10000006). This is up from 0.6% coverage in 2010. The local project ‘Connecting Cumbria’ holds data at a constituency level.
