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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, pursuant to the Answer of 23 March 2017 to Question 68607, if she will publish all evidence considered by her Department which indicates that superfast broadband in the UK is (a) on and (b) not on track to reach 95 per cent of UK premises by December 2017; and if she will make a statement.

The current contracted delivery from the projects within the Superfast Broadband Programme is available on the DCMS website at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Hs00bNsyRV1WoOt-fow3rsNXzpcKg26AsOWvk1bvJRk/edit#gid=1411146266.

Information from suppliers on their commercial plans has been provided to BDUK on an in-confidence basis.

We are on track to meet the 95% target by December 2017. Recent Thinkbroadband figures shown 92.8% of premises already have access to superfast broadband.
