Conservative — East Hampshire

Speaking in the House of Commons on 2 April 2025

Debate

Digital Landlines: Rural Communities

Contribution

I do recognise that, and hopefully I will be able to come on to it. While broadband and mobile connectivity have improved markedly in many areas, there is still a big gap between towns and rural areas. With electricity, the key point is that we have been having storms more frequently—and in our sorts of rural areas, with storms comes damage to powerlines.
