Sir Nicholas Soames: To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what progress he has made on implementation of the National Infrastructure Plan.

Greg Hands, Chief Secretary to the Treasury: In the past year a number of key projects have been completed, including the opening of Smart Motorway projects on the M6 and M1, significant rail station redevelopments at Birmingham New Street and Manchester Victoria, and major local transport schemes in Nottingham and South Devon.

The government will shortly publish a new National Infrastructure Delivery Plan, setting out how it will deliver key projects and programmes over the next 5 years.
