That’s why in the Autumn Budget, the Chancellor announced that the National Productivity Investment Fund, introduced in 2016 to invest in housing, R&amp;D and infrastructure, would be extended and increased from £23bn to £31bn.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 26/07/2018 12:39:15 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
