To ask Her Majesty’s Government what rules govern the ability of the United Kingdom Overseas Territories to raise finance from the private sector and from international governments and organisations to fund infrastructure improvements.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what rules govern the ability of the United Kingdom Overseas Territories to raise finance from the private sector and from international governments and organisations to fund infrastructure improvements.
Overseas territory constitutions and laws set clear responsibilities for public financial matters in each territory. Rules on public procurement in the Overseas Territories (OTs) are also set out in local legislation. In addition, the British Government and a number of OTs have agreed Fiscal Frameworks that establish prudent limits and robust definitions of public debt. They also establish key principles and procedures for public procurement. Fiscal Frameworks are in place with Anguilla, the Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, the Falkland Islands and the Turks and Caicos Islands.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the appointment of General Eisenkott as Chief of Staff of the Israeli Defence Force; and what discussions they have had with the government of Israel concerning his Dahiyya Doctrine.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the appointment of General Eisenkott as Chief of Staff of the Israeli Defence Force; and what discussions they have had with the government of Israel concerning his Dahiyya Doctrine.
We are aware of Major General Eisenkot’s nomination to succeed Lieutenant General Gantz as the Chief of Staff for the Israel Defence Forces (IDF). As he is the current Deputy Chief of Staff, we would therefore expect a degree of continuity. While we have not had any discussions with the IDF over the "Dahiyya" Doctrine, we would have expectations of Israeli military conduct being in full compliance with international law and therefore meeting the tests of military necessity, distinction and proportionality.

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, when he plans to publish his response to the Digital Communications Infrastructure Strategy consultation.
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, when he plans to publish his response to the Digital Communications Infrastructure Strategy consultation.
The Government believes that a long term strategy is crucial to ensure that the UK has the right digital communications infrastructure to meet increasing user demand and to maintain the UK's international competitiveness. This Strategy, which we will publish in early 2015, will set out an ambitious and coherent long term vision for the UK and will consider what action needs to be taken to put in place the right digital communications infrastructure, both fixed and wireless, over the next 10 years.
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether the £25 million Government contribution announced in the National Infrastructure Plan to support innovation in manufacturing of ultra-low emission vehicles in the UK between 2017-18 and 2019-20 (a) forms part of the previously announced £500 million investment in ultra-low emission vehicles for...

I can confirm that the National Infrastructure Plan announcement is for £25 million of new spending on innovation in ULEV manufacturing – it is in addition to the £500 million previously announced.
The Government has previously committed to provide £100 million for ULEV manufacturing innovation between 2015-20 – and so the new spending represents a 25 per cent increase.
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether the (a) £15 million Government announced in the National Infrastructure Plan for a national network of charge points on the strategic road network between 2015 and 2021 and (b) three funds for ultra-low emission taxis, buses and cities totalling £85 million in...

The £15 million funding for a national network of chargepoints is part of the Roads Investment Strategy, published by Department for Transport on 1 December 2014. This funding was provided to Department for Transport at Spending Round 2013. This funding is additional to the £500 million investment in ULEVs.
The National Infrastructure Plan announced that further details of the three funds will be published by the Office for Low Emission Vehicles. These schemes form part of the £500 million already allocated to ULEVs between 2015-16 and 2019-20.
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment his Department has made of the adequacy of current levels of investment in London's infrastructure; and if he will make a statement.
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment his Department has made of the adequacy of current levels of investment in London's infrastructure; and if he will make a statement.
The National Infrastructure Plan sets out how the UK’s future infrastructure needs in each sector will be met through a mixture of public and private investment. It shows that annual average infrastructure investment in the UK is now 15 percent higher in this parliament than it was in the previous parliament.
The National Infrastructure Plan is underpinned by an infrastructure pipeline setting out £466 billion of planned investment to 2020 and beyond. Of this, £40.6 billion is specifically regionalised to London. This does not include UK-wide projects or programmes which will have a transformative effect in individual regions in England including London.
Across both the public and private sector, the need for investment in specific projects or programmes will be assessed through individual business cases. For example, Transport for London is the public body with standalone responsibility for the majority of transport services in London.
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to pages 132 and 137 of the National Infrastructure Plan 2014, for what reasons none of the communications Top 40 priority investments were rated as innovative or novel and could improve future delivery or enabling significant private sector investment.
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to pages 132 and 137 of the National Infrastructure Plan 2014, for what reasons none of the communications Top 40 priority investments were rated as innovative or novel and could improve future delivery or enabling significant private sector investment.
The Government sets out its Top 40 priority infrastructure investments, to support the delivery of its objectives in each sector.
The selection criteria published in the National Infrastructure Plan 2014 are considered the most relevant for the four communications investments listed and are significant enough to merit the inclusion of these investments within the Top 40. In some cases the projects and programmes are expected to have wider benefits which mean they also deliver against other criteria, such as unlocking private investment.
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate he has made of the number of jobs in (a) England, (b) the East Riding of Yorkshire and (c) Haltemprice and Howden constituency likely to arise from the measures in the National Infrastructure Plan.

The government’s commitment to infrastructure investment is a key element of its Long-Term Economic Plan, driving jobs and growth. The National Infrastructure Plan is underpinned by an infrastructure pipeline setting out £466 billion of planned public and private investment to 2020 and beyond. The government does not hold data on the exact number of jobs associated with infrastructure projects across the country, many of which will be delivered by the private sector. However, government analysis based on ONS data suggests that infrastructure investment could directly support 5,000 construction jobs for every £1bn spent, as well as many more indirect jobs.

This Government has committed to a transformational package of rail investment, including an extensive rolling programme of electrification of over 850 route miles, compared to just 10 miles completed between 1997 and 2010.
At this early stage, eight months into Network Rail’s current five year funding period, the cost estimates of many of the programmes have not yet been determined. Network Rail continues to develop the Rail Investment Strategy programme with the Department and review costs with the Office of Rail Regulation. The Transport Secretary has been clear these projects should be delivered within the overall Network Rail budget. The latest cost estimates (in 2012/13 prices) are listed below, though not all of these programmes have been through the Office of Rail Regulation’s cost scrutiny process (“Enhancements Cost Adjustment Mechanism”):
(a) Reading Station Area Resignalling and Remodelling, including the new station and maintenance depot: £895m is Network Rail’s anticipated final cost when the scheme completes at Easter 2015
(b) East West Rail Phase 1 (Oxford – Bicester) – Network Rail estimate of £318m
(c) East West Rail Phase 2 (Bicester – Bletchley – Bedford) – currently at an early stage of development
(d) The Northern Hub – funding commitment of £600m, programme still in development
(e) TransPennine electrification – funding commitment of £300m, programme still in development
(f) Great Western Mainline electrification – Network Rail recent estimate of £1.7bn
(g) Midland Mainline electrification - Network Rail recent estimate of £1.3bn
(h) South Wales Mainline electrification – the section from Cardiff to Swansea is at an early stage of development
(i) Valley Lines electrification – at an early stage of development (sponsored by the Welsh Government)

At this point in the story, we expected that there would be merely a re-examination process where the inspector would provide more detailed reasons for the support of North Somerset’s core strategy. Unfortunately, the judgment did not provide a remit for the re-examination process. As a consequence of the inspector’s...
