Broadband voucher scheme is “a confession of failure”

Donald Cameron MSP

Highlands and Islands MSP Donald Cameron has said that the SNP Government’s failure to deliver superfast broadband as it promised, has been confirmed by the launch of a new Scottish Broadband Voucher Scheme (SBVS).

Mr Cameron said: “The SNP announced in 2017 that they would deliver superfast broadband to all homes and households by 2021.

“Instead of that, residents and businesses in my region are being offered a complicated and bureaucratic new scheme, which is not what they were promised.

“This scheme is a confession of failure and the only superfast element of their performance is in the production of excuses for failing to deliver.”
