Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps he is taking to ensure a long-term approach to infrastructure investment as recommended in the National Infrastructure Assessment.

As set out in Spending Round 2019, the Government will announce its ambitious plans for future capital spending later in the autumn, including through the publication of the National Infrastructure Strategy.

This Strategy will set out the Government’s plans to deliver a step change in infrastructure investment to support the UK economy and will provide the Government’s official response to the National Infrastructure Assessment, which set out an assessment of the UK’s long-term infrastructure needs.
