Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what proportion of the £200 million of private investment announced in the 2017 Budget as part of a new £400 million Charging Investment Infrastructure Fund has been raised to date.

Following the announcement of this fund at Autumn Budget, the Government is engaging with the private sector to ensure that it is set up in the most effective way. We expect to launch the procurement for the private sector fund manager in Summer 2018, who will be tasked with raising the £200m of private investment. Further details will be announced in due course.
