Jeremy Hunt unveils Tory technology platform
As the three main UK political parties vie for positioning ahead of a general election to be held by June, the Conservatives unveiled their “Technology Manifesto” on Thursday in London outlining the key issues they would address if they form the next government.
Shadow Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt and Shadow Cabinet Office Minister Francis Maude presented ideas on everything from improving broadband speeds to making government data accessible online.
Boosting broadband speeds would play a crucial role in stimulating growth by providing new areas of financial competitiveness, they said.
“This is central to the growth of the UK economy and will create hundreds of thousands of jobs,” Hunt said.
The Conservatives say they would break up the dominance BT has over the Internet and find a way to open up access to other firms.
“Our plans will stimulate a massive increase of investment in our digital structure by allowing anyone to invest in BT’s ducts and pipes,” Hunt told Reuters.
Hunt spoke with Reuters about Conservative plans in the video clip below.
