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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what estimate his Department has made of the proportion of premises covered by (a) 2G voice and low data rate mobile coverage, (b) 3G high-speed data mobile coverage and (c) 4G very high-speed data mobile coverage in each local authority area in the latest period for which figures are available.

Ofcom’s Infrastructure Report 2014 states that outdoor premises coverage from at least one mobile network operator is provided to 99.7% of premises for 2G, 99% for 3G and 72% for 4G. A breakdown of these figures at local authority level is available on Ofcom's website at: http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/binaries/research/infrastructure/2014/Mobile_local_authority.csv
