Will Welsh Government be producing a new white premises list for broadband coverage and, if so, when will this be publically available?

Answered by Leader of the House and Chief Whip | Answered on 06/02/2018

The white premises list produced as a result of the recent Open Market Review remains current, having been established in late 2017.

There is no current requirement to conduct a new Open Market Review. Should the Welsh Government seek to introduce a new broadband intervention in future then there may be a requirement at that time to conduct a new Open Market Review to generate a new list of white premises that reflects broadband availability at that time.
