John Pugh – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Culture, Media and Sport

The below Parliamentary question was asked by John Pugh on 2016-01-18.

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what steps the Government plans to take to improve transparency to aid consumer choice on broadband providers.

Mr Edward Vaizey

As well as clear information about broadband speeds, consumers also need to understand costs to exercise effective choice. We expect the Advertising Standards Authority, following research it published in January, to produce new standards to make advertised broadband prices clearer by the end of May.
