This flexibility will give senior clinicians in England and Wales more choice in respect of their pension accrual, and therefore the ability to control better any pensions tax charges.</p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 19/07/2019 12:03:41 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss

	uin	276591
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/07/2019 answer text <p>Public sector net investment is set to reach levels not sustained in 40 years. In addition, public sector gross investment, which is net investment plus depreciation, helps to show the spending element of this. These figures include both economic and social infrastructure, as well as spending on other areas classified as capital spending. The latest figures from the Office for Budget Responsibility show that total public sector gross investment was £79.6bn in 2010-11, £71.4bn in 2011-12, £75.9bn in 2012-13, £68.7bn in 2013-14, £75.6bn in 2014-15, £74.2bn in 2015-16, £79.2bn in 2016-17, £83.7bn in 2017-18 and £82.0bn in 2018-19. Public sector gross investment peaked around the financial crisis due to Government intervention to support the economy. According to the National Infrastructure Assessment carried out by the National Infrastructure Commission in 2017, spending on economic infrastructure had risen from £12.4bn in 2012-13 to £18.7bn in 2016-17.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 19/07/2019 11:15:18 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick
