The below Parliamentary question was asked by Chi Onwurah on 2015-02-09.

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, pursuant to the Answer of 6 February 2014 to Question 222384, whether regional data is available on any of the campaign spend.

Mr Edward Vaizey

Regional data is not available on any of the campaign spend as media was bought on a national basis. The purpose of the campaign is to increase public awareness of, and interest in superfast broadband in order to drive take up. The Government’s Superfast Broadband programme is central to the economic growth agenda. Every £1 spent will see a return of up to £20 in net economic benefits with 89% outside of London and the South East.
