Indeed, doesn't change that there is something to cut and ring fencing it for political reasons, to the detriment of other less politically sensitive services, is very wrong.

It's happening?
I take it you missed where George Osborne mentioned £6bn of public money for just this such a thing, along with a purported £20bn from the National Association of Pension Funds and the Pension Protection Fund.
In addition to this there's some interest from China in investing in UK infrastructure.
I appreciate it may be a weird concept getting private investment in but it works pretty well elsewhere. Maybe they have a point?
