HC Deb 12 May 1994 vol 243 cc226-7W
25. Mr. Berry

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many of the projects announced in the public-private initiative are under construction; and how many have yet to begin construction.

Mr. Dorrell

Of the projects listed in "Breaking New Ground", published by the Treasury in November 1993, 30 are either completed or under construction. Decisions have still to be taken on some of the remaining projects, but the total value of those currently expected to proceed under the private finance initiative is over £6 billion, or approximately £8 billion if the Jubilee line extension is included.
