520			_aExamines the effect on consumers of government investment in infrastructure with more than £375 million spending on planned investment. Around two-thirds of this cost is likely to be financed and delivered by private companies but paid for by consumers through utility bills and user charges such as rail fares. At the moment government is not taking the responsibility for assessing the overall impact of this increase in bills on consumers. Makes recommendations including that the Treasury should ensure that an assessment of long term affordability of bills across the sector is published and that the regulator should improve their protection of consumer interests by paying closer attention to the financial structures of regulated companies.
