Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what discussions he has had with the Department of Culture, Media and Sport on improving wifi coverage and mobile connectivity across the UK rail network.

I meet regularly with my counterparts at the Department of Culture, Media and Sport to discuss improving Wi-Fi coverage and mobile connectivity across the UK rail network, and on 10 June 2015, my hon Friend, the Minister of State for Culture and Digital Economy, the hon Member for Wantage (Ed Vaizey) and I launched a call for evidence to seek information on how best to tackle poor coverage.
