To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Olympics, Media and Sport what his most recent assessment is of the level of access to broadband in Norfolk; and what steps his Department is taking to increase that level.
Broadband Delivery UK is assessing current broadband provision at community level across the UK in its work to deliver the coalition Government's objective to facilitate universal broadband access of at least 2Mbps.
The Government have committed £530 million up to 2015 to facilitate commercial investment in superfast broadband commencing with the superfast broadband pilots announced earlier this year. In addition, the Secretary of State for Culture, Olympics, Media and Sport announced a further £50 million tranche of funding for the next wave of projects to be announced in May 2011.
Broadband Delivery UK will work with local authorities who should prepare local broadband plans to form the basis of any bid for project funding.
