Welcome to the All Party Parliamentary Group on Infrastructure
"We all rely on the UK's infrastructure to support our daily lives - from the provision of energy and clean drinking water to the collection of refuse and delivery of our transport needs.
"Ensuring the maintenance and development of our infrastructure networks, whilst reducing any negative environmental and social impacts, is a challenge both for Government and Industry.
"The All Party Group aims to contribute to the national debate on investing in and planning for future national infrastructure. It runs an active programme combining a series of major project site visits and expert discussions."
Rt Hon Nick Raynsford MP
Chairman, All Party Parliamentary Group on Infrastructure
Background
The All Party Parliamentary Group on Infrastructure was first established "To highlight the importance of infrastructure to the economy and to society, and to hear expert speakers and discuss matters arising” on 17th November 2008. It was reconstituted after the 2010 General Election and is comprised of over forty members from both Houses of Parliament and all major political parties. The group works to highlight the importance of infrastructure within Parliament and Government.
The Institution of Civil Engineers has undertaken to provide administrative services to the group. If you would like to subscribe to the group's mailing list in order to receive further information about future activities please email gloria.liu@ice.org.uk.
