The manifesto puts forward 3 recommendations that the new Government should implement within its first 100 days in power:
- Re-commit to Project Gigabit
- Support competition in the private rental and social housing sectors
- Fully adopt Flexi-permits
and sets out two further policy priorities for the next parliament:
- Secure the UK's digital future by embracing competition and consumer choice
- Launch a public information campaign about the digital infrastructure revolution.
