Ian Murray

Labour — Edinburgh South

Speaking in the House of Commons on 12 November 2026

Debate

Mobile Coverage: Rural Areas

Contribution

The right hon. Gentleman is really showing his experience in the Chamber there. [Laughter.] Mobile connectivity is not a “nice to have”; it is an everyday necessity which connects people and communities and drives growth in every postcode. Of course, we cannot have growth in every postcode without connectivity in every postcode. The Government’s ambition is for all populated areas to have access to high-quality stand-alone 5G by 2030.
