Preseli Pembrokeshire AM Paul Davies has recently raised the issue of broadband services in the Chamber with both the First Minister and the Finance Minister. Mr Davies asked whether areas that do not receive broadband at present will benefit from the latest broadband investment. He also asked for assurances that people living in "not-spot" areas, which include pockets of Pembrokeshire, would be benefit from the investment.

Mr Davies said, "Whilst I am pleased that the Welsh Government announced earlier this year that £425m will be invested to expand broadband services throughout Wales, it is essential that the needs of those with limited broadband or no broadband at all, will be met and not neglected at the expense of delivering super-fast broadband in other areas. The Welsh Government has told us that they are considering what they can do to assist those in the 4 per cent bracket who will not benefit from this investment."

He added, "The Business Minister is due to give an update in the autumn, which I hope will provide more detail on which areas will be targeted by the project. I of course, will be monitoring this issue carefully to ensure that Pembrokeshire does not miss out on this vital investment."
