Infrastructure pipelines across the four nations

Headline figures from each government's published pipeline, side by side.

Why there is no UK total. The four pipelines cover different time periods, use different value thresholds and price bases, and the UK pipeline already includes some UK government funded projects in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Adding them together would double count and mix unlike figures.
