Key elements include:
- A clear plan for the UK’s infrastructure
- A new strategy for coordinating public and private investmentNew investment in critical infrastructure projects
- A new focus on delivery
The Prime Minister has asked the Chief Secretary to the Treasury to chair a new Cabinet Committee on infrastructure to drive forward the Government’s infrastructure programme.
The Plan confirms that the Government has published, for the first time, detailed data on the infrastructure investment and government construction pipelines pipeline, fulfilling the commitments made in the Plan for Growth.
HM Treasury said that generally the pipeline data are designed to provide a sense of the scale of investment and forward work that is expected but should not be taken as a commitment in each and every case.
The data covers over 500 infrastructure investment projects and programmes across both the public and private sectors, with the government construction pipeline covering a further 300 non-infrastructure projects.
The pipeline estimates are indicative and reflect the information held within Government on investment combined with other public sources of information. Data about purely private investment is subject to greater uncertainty than that for public sector or regulated investment.
For infrastructure, projects under £50 million are generally excluded to focus on significant investment. In addition no information on local infrastructure projects that are not funded directly by central Government is available. Where stated funding for projects beyond 2015 is in general not confirmed.
Economically regulated investment in the UK's energy and water networks is also not generally confirmed beyond currently determined regulatory periods.
