I have another matter related to planning. An area in my constituency had more than 100 houses built but there is no landline or mobile phone access. It is only after a hard battle that we got some houses connected. Has there been any communication with local authorities? Construction of houses is not allowed unless there is access to roads, sewers and water, but access to the Internet is now a key ingredient when we speak about building homes.

Has there been any communication with local authorities on that issue? Do we now need to make it part of the planning process?
