Freeview Service
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, if the department will make an assessment of the potential effect of turning off Freeview on areas with poor broadband connectivity.
Answered by Ian Murray
Digital inclusion and ensuring that all households across the country have access to high-quality, reliable broadband is a priority for the Government. The Department for Culture, Media and Sport is working closely with the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology to ensure that all aspects of digital inclusion are considered as part of any decisions we make on the future of digital terrestrial television.
