ICE’s submission to the 2015 summer Budget

In our submission, we call on Government to focus on two overarching objectives in order to help grow the UK economy:

• Maximise infrastructure's contribution to improved productivity and higher economic growth.
• Build resilience into the UK's infrastructure networks so that they are fit to face future challenges.

To achieve these objectives, Government should collaborate with industry to:

• Create a long-term infrastructure decision-making framework.
• Secure a world class engineering workforce that can drive innovation and productivity.
• Develop Infrastructure Network Performance Metrics.
• Accelerate the devolution of power and resources for developing high performing infrastructure.

The submission also outlines recommendations for sector spending on high speed rail, flood risk management and roads.
