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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, if she will publish a roadmap for the roll-out of local full-fibre broadband.

We published a Call for Evidence on Extending Local Full Fibre Networks on 29 December, which outlined a number of options Government is considering to incentivise and support commercial roll out. We will consider the evidence presented by providers, local bodies and other stakeholders and announce further details in due course.
