EVERY home in Britain will receive free and fast internet service under a Labour government, Jeremy Corbyn pledged today, vowing to clamp down on corporate “tax tricks” by creating a national broadband service.
Speaking at Lancaster University, the party leader said he would establish a free, fast and reliable internet connection for all houses and businesses within the next decade if he wins December’s general election.
The next Labour government would also seek to bring parts of BT, which is responsible for the “superfast” fibre broadband internet, into public ownership under the name British Broadband.
