HC Deb 20 April 1993 vol 223 cc47-8W
Mr. John Greenway

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what arrangements he has made to monitor the extent to which the private sector is participating in the Government's programme of capital projects.

Mr. Portillo

Departments are being asked to notify the Treasury on a regular basis of cases being considered, or in hand, where the total expenditure involved by the public and/or private sector exceeds £5 million. In addition, the Treasury expects to obtain information about other projects through its normal contacts with Departments.
