    Warnings over flagship government projects

    The decision to award the £5bn West Coast Main Line franchise - currently run by Virgin -

    to FirstGroup was scrapped

    Fighter U-turn 'cost taxpayers £74m Whitehall saving plan 'overspent Rail fiasco 'to cost at least £50m'

    More than 30 of the coalition's flagship schemes, including Universal Credit and high-speed rail, are at

    serious risk of failure, a report says.

    The government's Major Projects Authority (MPA) has given 32 schemes a red or amber/red rating

    , meaning they are deemed unachievable or in doubt.

    Red projects include two £7bn aircraft carriers dogged by delays, and a new passport applications system.

    The Cabinet Office welcomed the report and said it would lead to improvements.

    The MPA was established in 2010 with the aim of turning around the civil service's "lamentable record"

    of delivering large schemes.

    It is currently monitoring the status of projects worth £350bn and has assessed how likely they are to

    meet their time, cost and quality targets.
