CIHT briefing outlines the key Government announcements in the 2013 Budget, including those on increased capital spend, transport, changes to infrastructure delivery, planning and local enterprise partnerships and provides commentary where appropriate.

CIHT have consistently called for a cross-party long term strategy for the development of the UK’s transport infrastructure. Adopting a long term strategy that sits above the political cycle would allow investors to have more confidence in investing in infrastructure. CIHT welcome the Chancellor’s announcement that more independent expertise will be used to shape infrastructure strategy and we would welcome the opportunity to represent our industry.
