Will the Minister outline the role of his Department at this stage of the broadband process and the role of his other Department, Public Expenditure and Reform, in terms of the detailed contract negotiations? Has the Minster a team of people working on the details with the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment? Will he tell us how that works in practice? Has there been an assessment of full compliance with the public spending code and so on? Is further work being done on a cost-benefit analysis? Will the Minister bring us up to date on what work his Department is doing now at this stage of the process?
