Mobile Phones: North Somerset
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what steps his Department is taking to help improve mobile network signal in North Somerset constituency.
Answered by Chris Bryant
I have asked Ofcom to check their figures, but according to them, 94% of the constituency has 4G geographic coverage from all four mobile operators, while 5G is available outside 96% of premises from at least one operator. The government’s ambition is for all populated areas, including rural communities, to have higher quality standalone 5G by 2030.
We are working with industry and Ofcom to ensure we have the right policy and regulatory framework to support investment in this crucial infrastructure.
