  • Housing - Social rents to be set at CPI plus 1% until 2025 and a three-year £3 billion investment from 2015 to build 165,000 new homes.
  • Roads - £28 billion over six years from 2014.
  • Flood protection - £370 million in flood defences yearly until 2020 and a cap on insurance rates for 500,000 households.
  •  Energy - Shale gas potential, strike prices to be set next month. Wind, next year generators will be set at £155 per megawatt hour of off shore wind, down to £135 by 2018. And a multi-billion pound guarantee for a new nuclear power station at Hinkley Point.
    One consequence of the investment is that an increase in labourers will be required - and the skill set of these workers is highly important in maintaining government visions with this scheme.
