The report - Tackling the Infrastructure Puzzle – was produced by the Business Infrastructure Commission, and independent group of business leaders set up by the British Chambers of Commerce.
Responding to the report, Mr Foulkes said, “The government has rightly recognised infrastructure as a central plank in its strategy for growth and there have been significant steps towards achieving this - from the creation of Infrastructure UK within the Treasury, to the launch of the UK’s first National Infrastructure Plan.
“But as the BCC rightly points out in its report, the need to think strategically and secure targeted investment in our infrastructure networks is becoming ever more pressing. Government must now focus on attracting inward investment and translating its plans into actions that pave the way for infrastructure to become the economic driver it promises.”
