Access For Schools To The Information Super Highway

EDM number 834 in 1994-95, proposed by Ann Coffey on 15/03/1995.

That this House welcomes the recent commitment by the Cable Communications Association that every school passed by the network will be offered a standard link-up free of charge; notes, however, that no commitment has been given by the Association that every school in franchised areas will be passed by their network and that without such a commitment of ensuring universal access to the broadband infra-structure, those schools without such access will be severely disadvantaged in the future; and therefore urges the Cable Communications Association to give that commitment to this House.

This motion has been signed by a total of 123 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
