Chi Onwurah – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the HM Treasury

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Chi Onwurah on 2015-11-09.

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, how the Government decided on the priorities for the National Infrastructure Commission; and for what reason digital connectivity was not chosen as one of those providers.

Greg Hands

The Commission’s first three priority studies concern some of the most pressing infrastructure issues facing the country. They were chosen because independent quality advice will help Government make a better decision and accelerate the process of getting infrastructure built. The Commission will examine digital connectivity when it conducts its first long-term needs assessment.
