Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, how much Project Gigabit funding will be distributed to devolved authorities.
Project Gigabit funding for the planned procurements in the devolved administrations will be determined following thorough market reviews and using a modelled estimate of the costs involved in providing gigabit coverage.
Eligible premises in hard-to-reach communities across the United Kingdom can also get support from Project Gigabit’s £210m UK Gigabit Voucher scheme, which can provide immediate help to communities right now in advance of the wider rollout.
