Part of 2. Questions to the Leader of the House and Chief Whip – in the Senedd at 2:31 pm on 14 November 2018.
The superfast website has the map outlined—I can send the link again to the Member; it shows exactly where the lots are, and what's included and not included. As I said, we're in the process of negotiating exactly which premises, because we very much want to learn from some of the experiences of the communications in the first superfast scheme, around giving people certainty about where they are in the programme, and what they can expect, and also giving them certainty that they're not in the programme, so that we can address issues in that way. We are actually still in conversation with Openreach about what are called stranded resources—the investment that they put into the ground that wasn't complete. I just want to make it very clear once again, Deputy Presiding Officer, that we have not paid a penny towards those stranded resources; the conversation is about whether they want to put their commercial money behind that, or whether it wants to be included in this lot, or whether there's some other arrangement that we can meet around the gain share in order to connect those premises up. But it's their commercial outlay—they invested the money to put that down; it's not being done with public money, and it's a commercial matter for them in the end.
