Andrew Percy – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Culture Media and Sport

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Andrew Percy on 2014-04-09.

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, how many schools will benefit from his broadband rollout for schools.

Mr Edward Vaizey

The Government has committed £780million to help deliver superfast broadband to 95 per cent of UK premises by 2017. We do not have data on the specific number of schools that would benefit from the programme. Public sector broadband requirements would be the managed by the department or local authority with responsibility for delivering the relevant policy.
