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 number of homes in (a) Cumbria and (b) Copeland constituency that will not have access to superfast broadband by 2020.
The Government remains committed to superfast broadband delivery. The Connecting Cumbria project is due to provide 92% of homes and businesses in both Cumbria and Copeland constituency with access to superfast broadband by the end of 2017. No estimate has been made of coverage by 2020 by constituency.
