And the reality is, the future of the nation's infrastructure is crucially related to the interests of the environment. This is so, both because of the impact of investment in our roads, water mains, housing and other infrastructure on the quality of our individual lives and because of our relations with and respect for (shown by efforts in stewardship of) our surroundings...

Broadly the evolution of the public sector has gone through four stages (a) laissez-faire,which covers the period up tothe 1840s (b) amalgamation and regulation during the period from 1840 to World War I1 (c) nationalization after the war and until 1979 ( ) return to laissez-faire-free market economics and, for a time, d the monetarism-which have characterized the philosophy of the present government since 1979...

Ports varied enormously in structure and activity and included those privatized in the last few years such as the former British Rail and British Transport Docks Board operations, the port trusts, the municipally owned ports and the statutory company ports. There had been major structural changes within the UK ports industry over the previous two decades as the location emphasis had changed from the west to east primarily since the UK joined the European Community...

STANLEY, BEng, MICE* Worldwide it has been estimated that 56 billion pounds will be spent on airports over the next 15 years with the aviation industry itself going through a period of great change which will continue well into the next century. The next generation of fuel efficient aircraft is with us and giant steps are being made in the development of lighter, stronger materials which should, over the remaining years of this century, result in a relative decline in the cost of flying. Historically aviationhad always been based on national carriers, with the exception of the USA, where a number of large domestic competing carriers began to base themselves on various airports throughoutthe country...

- PROJECTFINANCE Aprons are a very expensive part of airport infrastructure development and the correct planning, assignment and organization of aprons is a study in its own right. It does not make economic sense to complete parking slots for aircraft types which are not yet flying which is what has recently been done at Terminal 4 at London Heathrow. The whole problem of levels of service, passenger simulation flows through terminals and the transporting of passengers to the aircraft, over what will become greater and greater distances as more and more aircraft appear, needs to be fully considered...

He considered that the first tier could possibly be a Parliamenatry select committee to establish national requirements. The local planning consultation would then only consider specific site issues as proposed. In closing the session Mr Walker said that the infrastructure of river systems had been steadily improved over the last 50 years and appeared to be in good shape. He considered that future infrastructure planning for river systems must continue to take account of maintenance needs, including the maintenance of equipment,drainage systems, and particularly themaintenance of the commitment and enthusiasm of staff who tended to be taken for granted until an emergency arose...

In reply, Mr Rouse repeated his view that marine disposal of sewage and sewage sludge was one of the most cost-effective aspects of the dirty water cycle. He held that provided adequate levels of research and monitoring of effluentswere maintained, this could be shown to be environmentally acceptable as well as economically sound. Those assembled generally agreed with the findings of the Second Infrastructure Planning Report concerning dirty water infrastructure. In closing the discussion, Mr Rouse emphasized that although no vast increase in capital outlay was envisaged, it was important that a commitment toward effective management of all aspects of the dirty water cycle, including research, operation and development, be maintained...

The alternative in point of view was also put forward, that investment in the construction industry would lead to additional activities making equipment and plant, winning raw materials from the ground processing them,and thatall these activities would and generate extra work the UK. in The future of water meters also provoked much discussion. These couldseen be as new devices under development and likely to be very expensive, which raised the question of who should pay for them-the water authority or the consumer? Others felt that universal metering would come about eventually and that future meters would be capable of recording charges at differential rates throughout the day, just as telephone charges varied...

The fact that all the local authorities, statutory bodies and the majority of the other interested parties were generally in agreement to the sites selected, indicated the value of the work done in their selection.

Mr Coxon stated that conventional hydro-power generation could not be considered significant in the UK in terms of total power generated though pumped storage schemes and potential tidalschemes were. Excluding pumped storage the approximate installed capacity of hydro generating plant in the UK was about 1400 MW with a further potential of 700 MW awaiting development. More recent pumped storage schemes such a Dinorwig, and representing overall a capacity of 7200 MW showed the different scale of this type of hydro installation...

It was recommended that the Infrastructure Planning Group consider this aspect of projects. The value of schemes such as a barrage could produce power in seven years from inception with real benefits to the investor only accruing after about 20 years. In assessing projects the short-term benefits should be included in the equations, argued Mr Coxon...
