Lord Allen of Kensington – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the HM Treasury

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Allen of Kensington on 2016-09-13.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government when they plan to bring forward legislation to provide a statutory basis for the independent National Infrastructure Commission.

Lord O’Neill of Gatley

The National Infrastructure Commission has a crucial role to play in setting out the country’s infrastructure priorities. Since being set up, it has produced three challenging and authoritative reports on smart power, London transport and a long-term strategy for transport in the North, and has recently consulted on its approach to the first National Infrastructure Assessment.

The government remains fully committed to the Commission and we are considering how it can best support the government’s new industrial strategy.
