uin	217875
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/12/2014 answer text <p>The government’s commitment to infrastructure investment is a key element of its Long-Term Economic Plan, driving jobs and growth. The National Infrastructure Plan is underpinned by an infrastructure pipeline setting out £466 billion of planned public and private investment to 2020 and beyond. The government does not hold data on the exact number of jobs associated with infrastructure projects across the country, many of which will be delivered by the private sector. However, government analysis based on ONS data suggests that infrastructure investment could directly support 5,000 construction jobs for every £1bn spent, as well as many more indirect jobs.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey answering member printed Danny Alexander question first answered 16/12/2014 17:55:55 answering member 1535 label Biography information for Danny Alexander
