To ask the Minister for Infrastructure how she will proceed following receipt of the Ministerial Infrastructure Advisory Panel report and recommendations.

You will be aware that the Ministerial Advisory Panel presented their final report and recommendations to me on 2 October 2020.

The report reflects the extensive stakeholder engagement undertaken by the Panel and sets out a number of detailed findings and recommendations in respect of infrastructure planning and delivery here.

I am engaging with Executive colleagues on the final report and also look forward to discussing the report with the Infrastructure Committee to consider how we might best move forward to support the long term planning and delivery of infrastructure, a critical component in the Executive’s Brexit planning and Covid recovery.
