The question

To ask the Scottish Government what discussions it has had with mobile operators regarding mobile phone reception in North East Fife.

The answer

Answered by Alex Neil on 9 Aug 2012 · 23 days after it was lodged, on time

As set out in Scotland’s Digital Future – Infrastructure Action Plan, published on 31 January 2012, improving mobile phone and broadband coverage across the whole of Scotland is a priority for the Scottish Government. Whist the Scottish Government has not yet had specific conversations about mobile phone coverage in specific areas, we continue to have discussions with the mobile operators about improving coverage in Scotland.
We also continue to make representation to the UK Government to ensure that its Mobile Infrastructure Project has maximum possible impact throughout all of Scotland for both voice and data coverage in current mobile Not Spots. The precise areas to benefit will not be known until the UK Government’s procurement completes in December 2012.
