Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what steps he is taking to increase the number of suppliers registered on the Gigabit Broadband Voucher Scheme.
Building Digital UK has a comprehensive supplier engagement strategy which, since the inception of the Gigabit Broadband Voucher Scheme, has resulted in over 700 suppliers registering to provide connections as part of the Local Full Fibre Networks and the Rural Gigabit Connectivity programmes. As part of Project Gigabit a new UK Gigabit Voucher will launch on 8 April 2021 and supplier registration is already open.
