Contribution

One reason that parts of my rural north Cumbria constituency are not served by fixed broadband is that the per-metre charge to access Openreach’s ducts and poles makes it prohibitively expensive to roll out broadband by other providers. Will the Leader of the House make time for a debate on the costs of rolling out rural broadband, in particular the charges for physical infrastructure access?
