Business of the House

Business question from Hywel Williams (Plaid Cymru) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 5 June 2008. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
A report this week shows that broadband speeds in rural areas are half those in London and the south-east. That is a considerable inconvenience to rural families and a hindrance to the development of business in rural areas. We also have not-spots, such as Rhiwlas in my constituency, which has no broadband provision at all. May we have a debate on the digital divide, which should be called digital inequality?
