Broadband

Anne-Marie has welcomed the Government's decision to introduce a Broadband Universal Service Obligation - to ensure a minimum level of service at the request of the consumer, within a reasonable price threshold.  It is the price threshold which is of key importance for people living in Northumberland, and the reason that I intend to follow the new Digital Economy Bill - in which the USO will be introduced - very carefully as it comes before Parliament in the autumn.  My priority will be to ensure the Bill represents real, tangible change and improvements for my constituents.
