Build Better Broadband inquiry
Following its #BetterBroadband inquiry into reform of the Electronic Communications Code, the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Broadband and Digital Communication Chair, Selaine Saxby MP, has published the inquiry findings and set out a number of recommendations for government. The inquiry sought to explore how the Electronic Communications Code (the ‘Code’) could be practically reformed to make it easier to deploy full-fibre broadband in both urban and rural areas in the UK. Download the findings here.
