Part of 1. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:59 pm on 7 March 2017.
We will look carefully at regional economic funding in the context of the forthcoming mobile action plan, and during the next phase of superfast broadband development, to see how best this could support the targeted delivery of communications infrastructure on a more regional or local basis. There are some parts of Wales where there is no coverage. We know there are some parts of Wales—the Isle of Anglesey is one example, raised often in the Chamber by the Member for Ynys Môn—where there appears to be coverage, yet it’s not powerful enough to deliver data coverage. So, there are issues that will need to be resolved for the future and using regional economic funding is one way in which that might be done.
