HC Deb 15 November 2001 vol 374 c882W
Matthew Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture. Media and Sport if she will list the projects in her Department which have been considered as potential public-private partnerships since 1997 which have not been undertaken because the public sector comparator had a lower net present value than the public-private partnership proposed; and if she will make a statement.

Dr. Howells

I refer the hon. Member to the answer given by my right hon. Friend the Chief Secretary to the Treasury on 13 November 2001,Official Report, column 607W.

There have been no projects considered by my Department and the Royal Parks Agency as potential public-private partnerships which have not been undertaken because the public sector comparator had a lower net present value than the public-private partnership proposed.
