Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, if he will extend the Internet of Things competition for UK cities launched on 13 July 2015 to rural communities.
The competition will establish a demonstrator in a "city region" which can include less densely-populated areas and solutions will not necessarily all be based in the central urban area. The competition will also establish internet of things applications and solutions which are at scale and replicable in other areas.
