Mrs. Ray Michie

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list those projects incorporating private finance initiatives in Scotland specifying(a) the value of the private finance, (b) the region and (c) the type of industry. [29619]

Mr. Kynoch

[holding answer 28 June 1995]: Details of projects involving the private finance initiative which are currently under way in Scotland are contained in the table. The value of each project is estimated since the investment has come from the private sector and thus falls outwith the responsibility of the Scottish Office.
