The Government will announce plans to sell its 40% stake in Eurostar as part of wider plans to privatise £20 billion of assets by 2020. It is to reveal details of its £375bn public and private investments in infrastructure projects across the UK.

Speaking at the construction site of National Grid's London Power Tunnels, Mr Alexander said the investment was "more evidence we are rebuilding Britain."
