Consistency of broadband services and other utilities

Early day motion 616, tabled 3 November 2021 by Angus MacNeil (Scottish National Party). Signed by 18 members.

That this House calls for broadband services to be brought into line with other core utilities such as water and electricity with regard to compensation and repairs; calls for set time periods for repairs and financial penalties for companies and organisations which do not adhere to these time periods; notes that with recent and fast technological changes, broadband should be held to the same standards as other core utilities; and recognises the reliance and importance of broadband for those working from home, education and companies.
