Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, what discussions he has had with the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport on improving access to broadband for businesses.

Nearly 3.7m homes and businesses have superfast broadband available for the first time thanks to the Government’s investment programme.

I have regular discussions with my Rt hon Friend the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport on maintaining and securing the UK’s place as a world leader in broadband.

My Rt hon Friend the Secretary of State for Business recently announced a joint BIS/DCMS Review into Business Broadband to ensure businesses are able to access the affordable, high-speed broadband they need and deserve.
