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

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what plans he has to require (a) Openreach and (b) other providers to publish their (i) plans and (ii) funding commitments for the roll-out of a full-fibre broadband network.

The government's Future Telecoms Infrastructure Review, published in July 2018, set out that greater transparency of build plans, particularly those of Openreach, might have a positive impact on the commercial rollout of a full-fibre broadband network, and committed the government, as first step, to discussing with BT and Ofcom how such transparency measures might be introduced.
