This note examines the current state of infrastructure in the UK, recent Government policies and levels of investment.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether Infrastructure UK has attached a BB+ non-investment grade rating to the Hinkley Point nuclear project in Somerset.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether Infrastructure UK has attached a BB+ non-investment grade rating to the Hinkley Point nuclear project in Somerset.
The European Commission’s Closing Decision of October 2014 records that, as a result of the protections for debt built into the financing agreements, Infrastructure UK believed the Hinkley Point project should be able to achieve a rating equivalent to BB+/Ba1 during the construction period. It was not possible to conclude the originally envisaged guarantee for £16 billion but the Chancellor announced in September 2015 an initial guarantee for debt of £2 billion which will be repaid in December 2020 by the shareholders, EDF and CGN. There is no obligation to issue further guarantees for the project thereafter.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what the roles and responsibilities of the National Infrastructure Commission and Infrastructure UK are, to whom they report, and what overlaps there are between them, if any.

The National Infrastructure Commission is an independent advisory body, currently operating on an interim basis. It will deliver a long-term plan and assessment of national infrastructure needs and publish advice on specific infrastructure issues. The Commission reports to the Chancellor.
Infrastructure UK is a specialist unit within the Treasury that works on the UK’s long-term infrastructure priorities and secures private sector investment. It provides commercial support for infrastructure projects, administers the UK Guarantee Scheme, and reviews and refines the way that Public Private Partnerships are run in the UK. Infrastructure UK reports to the Commercial Secretary to the Treasury and to the Treasury Permanent Secretary.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to paragraph 2.230 of Budget 2013, how many additional commercial specialists they intend to recruit into Infrastructure UK.[HL6466]
In addition to creating an enhanced central cadre of commercial infrastructure specialists, the Government will establish infrastructure capacity plans to drive forward progress in key government departments. These reforms will be undertaken in conjunction with Cabinet Office-led efforts to strengthen Whitehall's commercial capability and Lord Browne’s work to improve the Government's management of major projects including through an enhanced Major Projects Authority. The Government are also considering options for making more use of independent expertise in shaping their infrastructure strategy.
The number and type of additional commercial specialists that will be recruited into Infrastructure UK will be informed by the outcomes of the infrastructure capacity plans.
Infrastructure capacity plans will be composed and used by departments with the support of Infrastructure UK and other government partners. They will form part of the assessment of how much additional commercial expertise departments require and they will assist departments in developing their infrastructure delivery capability, including their use of commercial expertise and governance of projects.
The following departments will develop infrastructure capacity plans by the summer: Department for Culture, Media and Sport, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Department for Transport, Department of Energy and Climate Change. The publication of outputs from infrastructure capacity plans will be announced in due course.
The Government are currently considering various options to incorporate independent expertise in the development of their infrastructure strategy in ways that avoid costly or time-consuming institutional changes.

The total operating costs for Infrastructure UK were £7.8 million in 2010-11 and £6.0 million in 2011-12.
