Question
To ask His Majesty's Government whether the National Infrastructure and Service Transformation Authority will retain independent commissioners, as is currently the case with the National Infrastructure Commission, as recommended by the Institution of Civil Engineers.
Answer
The National Infrastructure and Service Transformation Authority (NISTA) will combine the functions of the National Infrastructure Commission and Infrastructure and Projects Authority. NISTA will bring oversight of strategy and delivery into one organisation, driving more effective delivery of infrastructure across the country.
As announced by the government in October, NISTA will be operational by Spring 2025. NISTA’s governance will be confirmed in due course.
