英国首相安迪·伯纳姆周四表示，英国将把同一地区的公共投资项目合并评估，而不是逐个评估。这是政府规则改革的一部分，旨在帮助那些被忽视的地区。
Britain will assess public investment projects in the same area together rather than individually, Prime Minister Andy Burnham said on Thursday, part of a revamp of government rules aimed at helping overlooked parts of the country.
对“绿皮书”（用于评估公共支出项目的框架）的修改将在财政大臣约翰·希利10月28日的预算中公布。
The changes to the "Green Book", the framework for judging projects for public spending, will be set out in finance minister John Healey's budget on October 28.
这些修改将允许地方和地区当局把住房和交通等项目打包成一个“基于地点”的单一申请，而不是让每个项目单独接受评估。以下是该公告的要点：
They will let local and regional authorities bundle projects such as housing and transport into a single "place-based" case, rather than having each judged separately. Here are the key points of the announcement:
- 伯纳姆在会见英格兰各地区市长后发表声明说：“多年来，过时的规则让社区失望，这些规则没有正确审视释放其潜力所需的条件。”
• "Communities have been let down for years by outdated rules that haven't properly looked at what's needed to unlock their potential," Burnham said in a statement after meeting English regional mayors
- 这些改革建立在希利决定将绿皮书的总体贴现率从3.5%降至3%的基础上，这将使远离伦敦和其他生产力更高地区的长期基础设施项目更有可能通过财政部的评估。
• The reforms build on Healey's decision to cut the Green Book's headline discount rate to 3% from 3.5%, which makes long-term infrastructure projects away from London and other more productive regions more likely to pass Treasury appraisal
- 希利的预算还将包括一份财政权力下放的路线图，列出计划让地区领导人控制部分国家税收的份额。
• Healey's budget will also include a roadmap for fiscal devolution, setting out plans to give regional leaders control over a share of some national taxes
