Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what progress has been made on the rollout of superfast broadband in the B91 1 postcode area.
Nine out of ten UK homes and businesses can now access superfast broadband and we're on track to reach 95 per cent of the UK by the end of next year. We're committed to a Universal Service Obligation (USO) for broadband.
We want a USO at a speed of 10Mbps as an absolute minimum, enough to meet the needs of a typical family or small business so no-one is left behind.
We estimate that approximately 98% of premises in the Solihull constituency now have access to superfast broadband. We do not hold data specific to each postcode.
