§ Mr. Jack[holding answer 2 November 1993]: There are no ongoing public investment projects within my 254W Department which have attracted private capital since the 1992 autumn statement. However, my Ministry requires authorities responsible for flood defence and coast protection to obtain private sector contributions towards the cost of capital works needed to facilitate current or future developments, and encourages authorities to do so where defences provide a particular direct benefit to a business.
