I thank the Minister for his presentation. I have read a few lovely flashy documents about the roll-out of broadband. I see that two service suppliers are talking about services in certain areas. Certain towns have been earmarked, but the problem is that when one rings the people concerned to ask them for a date, one is told that every town will have a service by May or June 2016. I cannot understand how it is not possible to say, as in any walk of life, whether, according to the work programme, it will be October this year that such a town will have a service or February next year when another will a service. The boat will stop in May or June 2016. It would be nice for people in various parts of the country to know whether the service will upgraded in such a town in the west-----
