The outcome of this work will be reflected in the Invitations to Tender for both franchises, which we expect to publish in the New Year. We expect that the rolling stock to be used and where it is deployed will be a matter for bidders for both franchises to address in their bids.</p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 15/12/2014 15:53:03 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry

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
