i spoke to tony travers, who is a local government expert and visiting professor at the london school of economicst when projects are being assessed and compared, that the costs and benefits are assessed in a very pure economic way. and then decisions are made, not always on the basis of cost and benefits and that ratio, but normally on that basis, predominately. what the government appears to be suggesting here, or the times article is suggesting, is that in future, social and other benefits could be factored into the benefits that are calculated, so as to tilt the benefit or the likelihood, that projects will be given the go—ahead if they are not as economically viable as they would be in the south but the could pass muster and would be able to get through the testing process even if they are benefits under conventional means would have been less large. now they will be bigger, because we are to add new things into do with the economic benefit more broadly to people who live in less populous areas in the midlands and north. it sounds a bit like the national institute for clinical excellence whic
