Over recent years uncertainty about infrastructure plans and policy has inhibited investment in programmes and supply chains, pushing up end costs for consumers. Infrastructure investment is essential for delivering the government's missions – growth, housing, clean energy and net zero, and improved public services.

The 10 Year Infrastructure Strategy seeks to reduce uncertainty by bringing together a long-term plan for the country's social, economic and housing infrastructure. The Strategy will also set out an institutional framework to support its implementation, including setting out the role of public financing institutions such as the National Wealth Fund and how the Strategy will support other strategies such as the industrial strategy.

The Strategy sits at the heart of the Government's growth mission and seeks to drive growth and productivity through providing stability and certainty to the market about the long term plan for infrastructure.

This paper sets out the government's plans for the Strategy and some key areas under consideration.
