Analysis published by Which? in June last year found that Anglesey was thirteenth out of the 20 worst places for broadband in the UK, behind only Powys and Monmouthshire in Wales. On 30 January, you announced the first details of your new strategy to help to make fast and reliable broadband available to every property in Wales, with three lots going out to tender. The related tender document is now available online, stating only that the aim is to deliver superfast broadband services to as many premises as possible in Wales. So, when will the tender for north-west Wales—the lot 1 tender for north-west Wales—open and close? And why has the target for every property in Wales been removed?
