Recommendation 16

We asked the Treasury how it will ensure that the governance of the infrastructure strategy and project pipeline will align with the governance of the five missions. It told us that the infrastructure strategy sets out how each project will support delivery of the missions and that for mega projects there will be bespoke governance arrangements. It cited the Oxford-Cambridge arc as an example of a project with specific governance arrangements for a mega-project, which is separate from the growth mission board which covers governments efforts to drive up prosperity and living standards across the UK. The Treasury outlined how for mega projects it would like to replicate the approach to the Olympics where there was a particular body responsible for delivery.31
