The UK Government has provided the Welsh Government with £69 million to roll out superfast broadband right across Wales. So far, this investment has connected almost 300,000 more homes and businesses in Wales to first class digital infrastructure, including premises along the border.

I have discussed the improvements that this investment will bring to Wales with the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, the Minister for Culture and the Digital Economy and Broadband Delivery UK.
