Infrastructure (Financial Assistance) Bill

The Infrastructure (Financial Assistance) Bill was introduced to the House of Commons on 6 September 2012. The legislation would allow the Government to provide financial assistance of up to £50 billion in support of infrastructure investment. The limit could be increased by order. The Government would have to report to Parliament on any commitments made under the Bill’s provisions at the end of each financial year.

This briefing has been prepared to inform the Second Reading debate on the Bill.
