So, National Infrastructure commission lots of builders, road planners, railway experts etc – right? Wrong!

The commissioners are:

Lord Heseltine – politician
Sir John Armitt – an engineer (good)
Professor Tim Besley – former Bank of England adviser
Demis Hassabis – artificial intelligence researcher and neuroscientist
Sadie Morgan – a founding director of dR and Design Panel Chair of HS2
Bridget Rosewell – consultant and former Chief Economic Adviser to the Greater London Authority
Sir Paul Ruddock – chairman of the Victoria and Albert Museum and the University of Oxford Endowment

The commission will produce a report at the start of each five-year Parliament, offering recommendations for priority infrastructure projects.
