§ Ms HarmanTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will list those public investment projects within his Department's responsibility which have attracted private capital and have been commenced since the 1992 autumn statement.
§ Mr. DorrellThe Treasury does not undertake or sponsor the sorts of large public investment projects with which private capital is generally associated. It has, however, used leasing for office equipment. The Treasury will explore the scope for further use of private finance where this can be justified on value for money grounds. Such opportunities will be evaluated on the basis of the published Treasury guidance on private finance.
