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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, if she will undertake a further review of the adequacy of a 10 Mbit/s broadband speed before deciding on the level at which such a speed should be set in a Universal Service Obligation.

We will carefully consider Ofcom’s broadband USO analysis, published on 16 December, before reaching any decision on the design of the broadband USO, including the minimum speed and any other quality criteria that might apply.
