Speaking in the House of Lords on 6 May 2025

Debate

Renters’ Rights Bill

Contribution

My amendments to introduce the right to request full fibre installation from the landlord would empower more households to access faster, more reliable broadband sooner. It is a cost-neutral lever the Government can pull now to help close the digital divide, while supporting their commendable digital inclusion aims, and ensure that premises across the country are not left behind, with their tenants unfairly disadvantaged socially and economically. I look forward to hearing the Minister’s response and wonder whether she has alternative solutions for addressing this problem. I beg to move.
