(asked on 25th October 2016) - View Source
Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, for what reasons the National Infrastructure Commission is to be established as an executive agency rather than as a non-departmental public body.
This question was answered on 2nd November 2016
The government considers that the National Infrastructure Commission will have the right tools to deliver its objectives and operate effectively as an executive agency.
It will continue to provide robust, impartial analysis and advice on the country’s most complex and pressing infrastructure challenges. Setting up the NIC as an executive agency will mean that the Commission can be up and running in permanent form as soon as January 2017.
