Lord Adonis, Chair of the National Infrastructure Commission welcomes the government's announcement that it will make the NIC statutory and independent.
Chair of the National Infrastructure Commission, Lord Adonis said:
I strongly welcome the government’s announcement that it will make the National Infrastructure Commission statutory and independent. This is a major advance for infrastructure planning in Britain and will give the commission the power it needs to do its work.
The commission looks forward to engaging with MPs and Peers as the legislation advances to make this process as successful as possible.
Background:
Government announced that it would create a new statutory basis for the independent National Infrastructure Commission through the 2016 Queen’s Speech (18 May 2016).
