Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to implement a national infrastructure strategy to increase business growth after Brexit.

High quality infrastructure is crucial for supporting business growth.

The Government established the National Infrastructure Commission (NIC) in 2015 to provide impartial, expert advice on major long-term infrastructure challenges.

The NIC published their first National Infrastructure Assessment (NIA) last year, setting out their assessment of the UK’s long-term infrastructure needs.

The NIA made over 60 recommendations, and the Government is planning to respond in full to all of the recommendations through a National Infrastructure Strategy, to be published later this year.
