Liam McArthur (Orkney Islands) (Scottish Liberal Democrats): To ask the Scottish Government when it will conclude procurement of the R100 programme, and whether it expects to meet the target of 100% superfast broadband coverage by 2021.
Paul Wheelhouse: Procurement for the R100 programme will conclude this year. We will inform Parliament, once specific timescales for contract award become clearer. We have specified a target for completion by the end of 2021.
