In 2015 Sir Peter Hendy was asked to replan the programme to put it on a more sustainable footing, and following Sir Peter's review we have revised our approach to enhancements and the way we govern the programme to ensure that it is delivered within the fixed funding available. A key aspect of this approach is the ongoing assessment of investment decisions so that we deliver these improvements in a way that provides best value for taxpayers.</p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 11/07/2017 14:08:52 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss
