Simon Thomas draws attention to one particularly important location where there have been these frustrations. In fact, Nick Ramsay drew attention earlier on to the delight of the people of Tintern, while drawing attention to surrounding areas. So, I think that we have to recognise that there are still issues, but, to date, over 621,000 premises across Wales are able to receive superfast broadband thanks to the programme. Wales has got the best superfast broadband coverage among the devolved nations, but it is that work that has to continue, which means that the number of premises across Wales with the ability to access superfast broadband is continuing to rise.

Our Access Broadband Cymru scheme, which the Member will be fully aware of, also offers assistance to those not part of the roll-out in terms of grant aid. We’re also looking, it was announced in November, at how to reach the final few premises once Superfast Cymru comes to an end in 2017, with an investment of up to £80 million. So, that will inform the next scheme, but clearly there are infrastructure, land availability—there are issues that then can lead to the disappointment that you experienced from your constituents. I think it’s important that you shared that today and that I’ve given you an update on the progress that we’ve made. So, whole counties—Conwy, Gwynedd, Blaenau Gwent, Pembrokeshire and Ceredigion—would have been left without any access without the intervention, of course, of Superfast Cymru.
